Walter called Prolog "singularly useless". You have been referring to changes that would amount to a new major version of D as "a cleanup". From the forums, my sense is that there IS a groundswell of opinion, that D2 has some major mistakes in it that can't be rectified without doing a D3, and there's a strong reaction to that idea based on experience with D1 -> D2. Perhaps what is needed is a separate area for discussion about ideas that would require a major version change. The thing about that is that it can't be done incrementally; it's the rare kind of thing that would need to be planned long in advance, and would have to amount to a huge improvement to justify even considering it.
I agree that D2 has made some fundamental mistakes. But it also got a great deal right.
I haven't banned Ola from the forums, he has done nothing to deserve that. He's welcome to post here, and others are welcome to engage him.
