To Fork, or not to Fork

Why Fork?

Walter and Andrei are bad managers.

• disengaged (they are very busy)
• poor delegation
• bad communication
• very unorganized
• unclear direction

What goes into the fork?

Initially the fork will be in a "transitionary period" where changes will be more strict. Use the following guidelines for this period:

Can be merged anytime

• anything that goes into DMD
• bug fixes
• test improvements
• build improvments
• user experience improvement (i.e. error messages)

Can be merged sometimes

• new features? maybe. for now any new features must be a superset of what dmd supports. These will have to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
• compiler improvements to a point (want to still be able to merge changes from dmd). These will also have to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

Should not be merged

• deprecations
• breaking changes

Note that new features/breaking changes can be added if they are put behind feature options (see https://github.com/dragon-lang/dc/issues/61 for more detail)
