I believe it's possible to strike a balance between binary 
compatibility
between upgrades, source compatibility for .di files, and 
programmer
convenience. Why doesn't that DIP have its own Pull Request on 
GitHub?

It should be in the DIP I would think, but it appears not to be. It says 
that the DIP is in community review round 1. Mike?

The link in this thread is to the revision that was under 
Community Review, not the one in master. It's already gone 
through Final Review. Although, I just realized I forgot to 
update it once the Final Review ended. That's done now. The 
current revision:

No. It's in the queue for Formal Assessment.

Thanks for clarification. And what is the state of the formal 
Assessment, where is it logged?

I don't know what you mean. As a general rule, there is only one 
DIP in Formal Assessment at a time. You can see the status of all 
DIPs under review here:

https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/blob/master/DIPs/README.md

Currently, DIP 1029 is in Formal Assessment. I actually expect to 
make an announcement on its disposition before Saturday. I'll 
move 1030 into Formal Assessment sometime thereafter, though it 
won't be immediately. There was a controversy over the DIP 1028 
decision last month:

https://forum.dlang.org/post/rwjxbgsauknjjrvousti forum.dlang.org

TL:DR, should a language maintainer be evaluating his own DIP? 
Because of that, we've slowed things down a bit. I won't move 
1030 forward until we resolve that question, but I expect that to 
happen very soon.
