$D\ensuremath{-}\overline{D}$ mixing is the source of the largest theoretical uncertainty in the extraction of $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ from $B\ensuremath{\rightarrow}DK$ decays. In the standard model, the mixing can have a rate close to its current experimental upper bound and is $CP$ conserving to an excellent approximation. We show that neglecting $CP$-conserving $D\ensuremath{-}\overline{D}$ mixing …
