Thanks once more to Symmetry Investments, we have a new paid

Though I call him my "assistant", I can already see he will be
more than that. He'll be taking some things off my shoulders,
sure, but he also has ideas of his own to bring into the mix.
Adding him to the team is certain to be a boon for the D
community.
So, a word of warning to those of you who haven't heard from
me in a while pestering you for blog posts: get used to the
name "Max Haughton".
And congratulate him while you're at it!
Congratulations. However, Max seems to be just closing all
enhancement requests on bugzilla as invalid. This is the
behavior of a vandal. Please stop. Any policy that requires
this is ill-advised. Issues are valuable and binning them like
this is disrespectful to the time of the reporters.
I was going through trying to close things that are either not
bugs anymore because they haven't been touched from 2010 and
they've been fixed by entropy, or language changes which will
never be looked at again because they aren't DIPs. They're still
in public record but fundamentally they're just not useful
anymore - I was literally just going through bugs FILO and trying
to either reproduce or at least characterise whether they even
can be acted on by the foundation.
It's entirely possible I was overzealous and if I was, obviously
reopen them but ultimately the enhancements have to go through a
DIP because it's not 2012 anymore.
I also updated Stephen S's shared-delegate race condition bug to
have a test case that actually compiles, and that's from 2010 -
theadsan catches it now although it doesn't work with @safe
either so I'm not sure whether we should be embarrassed or not.
