New releases become more and more strange.
30% of deprecation
30% removing futures

Finally evolution, that's means that weak features need to die, to open living space for better features.

There's no evolution, without removing features and (breaking) changes.

It's also a sign of better documentation of even small deprecations.
The short release cycle means that there is a bit more variance on the amount of features per release, e.g. see the many features in https://dlang.org/changelog/2.087.0.html.
