There is only 2 of us working on QtD and there has not been interest from anyone to help with it. QtD contains more than 500 auto generated classes/modules with tons of methods and inter-dependencies. It's not easy at all. Consider it as an example of real word application with a million lines of code. If not Rainer's tremendous help, I would have given up with the development of QtD a while ago. He was only able to help me because he used QtD as a stress test.

This patch is also made by Rainer and apparently it is no longer valid (it was applicable to dmd svn revision 323, but not 324 anymore). All I can do is to rely on Rainer again.

I.e. it is valid, it just no longer fixes #2511 as it used to do. It would be nice at least to get this one fixed, as it is a blocker for us too.

Interest from people waxes and wanes, I wouldn't be concerned if it was wane at the moment. The advantage to Bugzilla is it sits there, sails up, ready for when the wind blows. The n.g., however, is very topical, and old news scrolls away and out of sight.

You and Rainer have been very valuable contributors to the quality of D.
