This is a critical bug fix.

I think this should have gone into branch stable, since it's a regression. I think we need to update the D wiki on how to properly do this. @MartinNowak, what is the proper way to do this, and how do you know whether something goes into stable or not?

It goes into stable if it makes the compiler more stable :), i.e. regression fixes and bugfixes with low risk.

I think the question is, should it go to stable at this stage, when 2.067.1 is out and 2.068 is next ? Will there be 2.067.2 ? I assume at some point master is going to be merged into stable.

Always stable, simpler and leaves us more options, e.g. releasing 2.067.2, even though that isn't planned.

I'll try my hand at updating the wiki.
