On a slightly related note, I think it would be a good idea to
branch off 2.072 and start beta testing right away, as it's
been five months since the last point release, and A LOT has
changed since then. I fear that we may see a huge number of
regressions for this beta cycle because they've just been
compounding over this time.
Yes, that was my intention as well. We'll discuss how to proceed
in the next few days.
On the good side those have mostly been phobos instead of

AFAIK the dmd work was mostly on C->D conversion and a few
smaller fixes for @safe and @nogc.
On the bad side phobos changes had the tendency to not care too
much about compatibility in the past.
As I've been on vacation the past 3-4 weeks, I still need to
catch up and get a better overview.
