While I don't think we need to worry so much at the moment about breaking binary compatibility with new D releases, we do have a big problem with breaking source code compatibility.

This is why we need to have a VERY high bar for breaking changes.

Definitely.
I think we should gather bugs that require breaking changes and prioritize them.

IMHO it's also the main reason to continue fixing imports and protection. By now people mostly still appreciate those fixes but the pain they cause will only ever grow.
