You are frustrated. I get that.

Don't make this personal for others, please. Maybe you should 
ignore this thread for today?


My POV is that it's easy to fix some phobos bug. But to get the 
easy fixes merged is a PITA. PRs that fixe a bug are hard to 
get merged. Why ? I don't know. Sometime we have to act like a 
bully to get a PR merged and that's not normal.


Perso I give up.


No need to get emotional over code. But I do agree that bug fixes 
should be fast tracked. How hard would it be to set up a priority 
queue? Say 1. bug fixes 2. performance enhancement 3. ...

You mean @andralex? You are right. I am sorry, I'm coming off 
an unprecedently busy spring spent mostly evangelizing D at 
various conferences, or doing contract work that will pour 
money in the Foundation's coffers. This is not work I can 
delegate, but is poised to have great impact (more on that 
later). I thought leaving Facebook would free my time, but 
things have gotten really crazily busy. And look at me - I 
spend most of my time on the autodecoding thread.


Andrei


Can't we have someone that can dedicate a fixed amount of his 
professional time to maintain the D infrastructure?
There is so much to do - reviewing and categorizing PRs is just 
the tip of the ice berg.


Ideally it would be a full-time position, but if a company 
would dedicate 20% of an employees time to start be able to 
contribute to D, that would be an awesome step forward.
