The D compiler is dmd rather than dc?
You could call dmd gdmd (gnu dmd) or g-dmd.
shepard
systemd
they get confused. Usually one reads the first and last letter of a word
and not the middle. Same first and last letter, same lenght, same
context, similar shape: people think GUIX runs systemd.

What was the reason to change it? Does anyone thing the new name
is better?
The reason is that the compiler for the D programming language is also
called DMD. If I remember correctly, it's older than GNU DMD, so the
courteous thing to do was change the name of GNU DMD.
I think GNU Shepherd is a nice name.
