I don't think this is unusual even outside of D.
At least Microsoft seems to be willing to break your build if it 
moves things forward. For example, there are projects that worked 
fine on MSVC 15.4 (VS2017), but broke if you installed the update 
to 15.5 (or auto-updated in Visual Studio).
You can't test everything.

A lot of the "regular" companies, that desire high stability, 
typically use very old compilers and just workaround the bugs 
they know.
For a D example, I think Sociomantic was using D1 for a long time 
just because it was stable for them.

And if you need stability, why would you update the compiler 
without local testing and reserving time to fix any issues?
