I am attempting to write a compiler in D2 (github.com/bhelyer/SDC), and I can't help but feel that rewriting druntime, or picking out the relatively benign parts would be a difficult, bug filled task. I don't see a realistic alternative to druntime compatibility. I also feel that having all implementations share the GC implementation means that improvements there will improve everywhere else. If I weren't to use druntime's GC, then I would use the Boehm collector, but I feel using druntime is more beneficial than not.
