I would like to add that fixing the regression does not make it go away. Even though it's fixed in git, and even after the fix ships with a new DMD release, there is still a D version out there that has the bug, and that will never change until the end of time.
Not necessarily. The reason we split off a new branch of dmd with each release is so that we can patch it if necessary.
Fixing regressions is not enough. We need to try harder to prevent them from ending up in DMD releases at all.
I agree, but stopping development isn't much of a solution.
