Something being dfix-able is not enough for the simple reason

in the forum and in DConfs that there are many packages on
code.dlang.org or on Github that don't compile because the
author stopped maintaining them. In many cases, these repo's
have only been unmaintained for a year(!) or less, and they
already don't compile.

Thanks for the explanation. If most changes aren't dfixable (or
aren't believed to be), that explains why the discussions I've
read don't mention the dfix approach.
