 I am attempting to write a compiler in D2 (github.com/bhelyer/SDC), and I 
 can't help but feel that rewriting druntime, or picking out the 
 relatively benign parts would be a difficult, bug filled task. I don't 
 see a realistic alternative to druntime compatibility.  I also feel that 
 having all implementations share the GC implementation means that 
 improvements there will improve everywhere else. If I weren't to use 
 druntime's GC, then I would use the Boehm collector, but I feel using 
 druntime is more beneficial than not.



I absolutely believe that druntime should be used by D2 compilers.  The only
issue is staying in sync with the main druntime repository.  Perhaps a
different VCS would make this easier though.  Maybe git?  Functionally, all
you'd need to do is replace src/object_.d and src/rt/* with your own code,
assuming that you didn't want to use the DMD stuff as-is.

Using Git is certainly better than using Subversion, but Bazaar and
Mercurial are the tools of choice for the discerning developer.

Oh, so you really want to start that discussion/flamewar again? -.-

As you noted yourself in the thread over at d.D.announce, »[…]
no-one to date has objective data so all statements on this are 
opinion«, so could we please leave it at that, at least for the time being?
