There is no difference between a bug fix and "upgrade" in context of deprecation path expectations. It affects robustness of package ecosystem in the same way. > There is a path to use new DMD with your buggy code, just use > --DRT-oncycle=ignore. It's just not the default. Well, this is the reason why I haven't filed it as a regression. It is bad, but being able to ignore detection if rt flag makes it tolerable. I am still going to look into keeping both algorithms for this release but don't view it as blocking regression.
