That may be worrisome. Any information on how many are using DWT, and
how badly it would break if we pulled the change?

If we assess there's too much breakage, we can define a DIP and make the
check opt-in via a flag -dipNN.

I would like to add that the impact of a possible breakage depends on what the alternative is. If a function in Phobos or druntime is provided with the same functionality, then the breakage have less of an impact.

As far as I understand topic is about deprecating direct field access of synchronized classes, method calls in synhronized classes and `synchronized () {}` blocks will remain untouched.

That clarifies things. It seems a fine idea. I can't think of an instance where it would be advisable to have public mutable fields in a synchronized class. Immutable or const though, sure.
