If this is what you want then I can be fine with it too. I just wanted to
make my position clear. This also means that use cases are going to need
to be clarified and a clear story crafted around the pro's and con's of
each compiler to help us make a decision about which option is best for
our needs. I was able to reach my conclusions, but only after months of
immersion into the community. Needless to say, most people, open-source or
commercial won't spend that kind of time...
In short, more promotion of the options on dlang.org.
