You will hear a lot of explanations about how people won't bother to 
update D1 stuff "because D2 is shortly out", or D2 stuff "because it's a 
moving target". All of which seem very legitimate to the writers.

 From a new user's point (and why not old ones too, especially those 
outside these newsgroups), it makes no difference whether such 
explanations are valid or not. The situation itself is bad for D.

What should be done about it? (Instead of explaining and whining.)

Can we at least make those libraries and projects that work with the 
current D more prominent, more visible to the casual or new person? Or 
something else?
