All you need to say is "d version 99 is the lts for the next 3 year" or maybe a formal blog post by 5ish people. | |||

@GrimMaple - Grim, are you ever using GDC or LDC?

This is a deprecation that becomes an error, it should have been left as a deprecation Deprecation period serves to give people time for them to remove unexpected behaviors and bugs. Removing a feature is a thing, but fixing bugs and unexpected behaviors are completely other thing, deprecation periods usually takes 10 compiler versions, one should not expect them to keep working anyway after some time | |||
