Well, then we're about to reach the point when it's ripe to do that, because D1 is about to no longer be supported. With the beta for 2.061 (whenever that happens), we can adjust how we do the beta process to properly use branches, and then we can adjust how we deal with stable and development branches of D2 for future releases.

If you don't and something with the macros break, you're lost. BTw, git is not hard to learn. -- /Jacob Carlborg |

Haven't we already agreed on this, that last time this discussion came up. Someone volunteered to keep a fork of the D projects and slowly merge changes. The releases should of course be based on this fork. -- /Jacob Carlborg |

We said the same thing before the 2.060 release. And most likely before the 2.059 release as well. -- /Jacob Carlborg |

Soo.... Theoretically Speaking.
If I were to create an Organization on Github for the management of stable D versions, would you work on it?
