This is mostly a problem about how the project is run and managed. No road map, a poor release process, committing new features directly to the master branch. Unstable features added, added even before they're can be considered finished. I mean, "const" was one of the first things added to D2, it still has problems and druntime/Phobos is still not const correct.
Totally agreed. One issue now is that Walter has converged briskly on the simplistic conclusion "no more steenking breakages" instead of learning git and designing a useful process around it. That way the process remains broken instead of being identified as the main issue and fixed. I have advocated privately in much stronger terms than I could afford publicly that we must fix the process and exercise good judgment about changing the language - all to no avail. "No more breakages" is like taking an aspirin for the fever caused by gangrene.
I think with dread about what's coming when completing shared will be on the table. We'll be looking at not breaking code that was by definition broken.
