Agreed. Maybe some other knowledge, such as how many other (active)
packages depend on it, or how often it is still downloaded, can help
to get a robust automatic measure.
Simple idea: try to build the package via current DMD. If compilation
false then the package too old (or we have DMD regression). So, it would
be nice to have package autotester like for DMD/Phobos repositories.
This way it actually knows the last compatible dmd version.
