Looking at the history, the Da Capo decision goes back to here

Right off the bat, DC 5 and Future link only have all-ages releases, so there's nothing to discuss about them.
DC III and DC 4 were first released as +15 VNs and then got Hotter and Sexier +18 releases (DC III, DC 4. Thus, they didn't fall under the purview of the 2012 5p reviews and technically we could trope the adult versions right now. Even though the only difference might only be the addition of generic H-scenes that could feel shoehorned like what happened with Little Busters! Ecstasy.
So we should focus on DC I and II first.

Friendly reminder that in the case of VNs, looking up the HCGs should always be the first step - at least in my opinion. I learned the hard way that I can't link them directly, but I know of a good website that hosts all sorts of HCGs.
(Also, relevant link to info about Fortunate Departures' 18+ release)

Kinda hard to give feedback on what's just a massive assortment of visual novels...

I Dunno even how we review this?
Theirs so many.

If we don't have enough context for a review, I think we're likely to keep the previous decision as the safe option.

What Animuacid said here, regarding us focusing on a few VNs at a time - in particular, we should focus on the first two entries first.

Yep, sounds like a plan.

I agree: the best approach is to lose the general ban on the 18+ versions (especiallly since a couple games apparently don't even have one) and discuss the games individually. Let's just go through them in release order.
Fine with everyone?

Yes, let's go with the first Da Capo.
The Content Policy page says that "Of the visual novels, only the clean ones" should be troped. This is, in my opinion, the definition of a generalization - there are tons of Da Capo visual novels out there, and not all of them run afoul of the "no paedobait" policy.
There are too many Da Capo VNs out there for me to list them all, so here are some VNDB links:
