I've been meaning to chime in here, but forgot until now. My vote is to just get 64-bit support working and out the door before we worry about anything else besides maybe regressions. I and a few other people are really looking forward to this, and I get the impression (correct me if I'm wrong, Walter) that 80-90% of the work is already done. If so, let's finish the last 10-20% now instead of constantly getting sidetracked and worry about fixes for non-showstopper bugs later.
Of course bugs in Phobos/druntime, as opposed to DMD, can be fixed in parallel with finishing DMD's 64 support. In Phobos/druntime, I suggest working on const correctness where feasible. Lack of const correctness in certain parts of Phobos/druntime often hinders development of other parts. Where const correctness isn't feasible within the language as it currently stands, I think we should start thinking about tweaks to the language to make it feasible. I've already proposed a few things. I'd like others to do the same. After 64-bit support works reasonably well, my vote is to focus on bugs related to alias this and inout. These are especially annoying because they can require workarounds at the design/macro level, not just the micro level.
