digitalmars.D - I'm outta here

Hi folks,


We're in the final stages of moving house across the country so I'll be 
more or less out of commission for a few days. A few thoughts:

* Review of std.allocator has been slow. I did my best to be responsive 
to feedback. There are a couple of remaining open issues regarding 
naming of things (what else?) which I think oughtn't block inclusion in 
std.experimental - then we'll get to experiment and see how it all feels.

* I've been hard at work on std.collection and I think something good 
will come out of it. Will keep on hacking at it.

* Please don't overdo The Grand Renaming. Find some good names for new 
things and call it a day. Please no breakages and no clever schemes and 
no overengineering. This is a good opportunity to create a good 
precedent of having the community have a word on introduced names and 
doing so in an orderly manner. Please let's not squander it. Find some 
good names and let's move on.

* Thanks Martin for pushing the beta through, and let's make this a 
solid release!


Cheers,

Andrei

I don't envy you. Moving house has to be the most stressful job there is. Though, I don't have kids so maybe I'm wrong on that :)
