I want the LDC command to change from ldc2 to ldc. Remove the later version number. Now LDC 1 has just released. LDC version does not consider the version of the D.

example:

While I think that people are more and more abusing the issue system for general forum-like questions and requests, I'd actually prefer ldc too. Is LDC for D1 still in use today? Was it usable in the first place?

JohanEngelen commented 8 years ago

This is going to break people's systems so if we change it to ldc (I'm in favor too), we need to keep (a symlink?) ldc2 around for a while I think.

Yeah, the issue tracker is not the place for general discussions like this. Let's figure out what we want to do on the forums or elsewhere, and then create issues for the actual action items.
