Sticking to 2.068 will help for some time but is not a long-term solution.
Particularly when considering some of the bigger D issues left to resolve, we'll
likely have to deal with some incompatibilities/deprecations.
Also consider that we might use the stable phobos parts.
I made a Trello card, let's discuss the details when we're actually working on

I don't see a reason to maintain 2.068 beyond the time that LDC and GDC migrate
to ddmd.
