I'm bumping this to 'blocker' because it's preventing me from using
DMD for my project.
I think we need clarification on the definition and usage of "blocker".
I typically would use it to mean that DMD cannot be released until the
bug is fixed. Other people seem to be using it in a more liberal sense.
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/page.cgi?id=fields.html#importance says
"[b]locks development and/or testing work." It's not entirely clear
whether that refers to DMD development or development of anything else
using DMD.
I think I might've actually used to use your definition of "blocks DMD"
but have since lapsed into "blocks my work"...
According to the list of all new and old blockers, usage varies:
