This is part of why it's sometimes been discussed that we need a way to
indicate which dub packages are currently maintained and work.
What we need is for DUB to quit pretending the compiler (and DUB itself,
for that matter) isn't a dependency just like any other. I pointed this
out years ago over at DUB's GitHub project, but pretty much just got
silence.
The compiler doesn't change all that often, and when it does, it's
usually a long deprecation cycle.
The problem really is that phobos/druntime change all the time. And they
are tied to the compiler.
I think some sort of semver scheme really should be implemented for the
compiler and phobos. But we need more manpower to handle that.
