Plan B for D

[renoX]

I can't help but thinking about the numerous "Linus don't scale" or 
"What if Linus is killed by a bus" comments which used to be on lkml.

This was a real concern, but now using a distributed VCS, and a 
decentralised structure where Linus trust a few person which trust 
themselves other person etc, the Linux kernel now use contributions from 
hundreds of developers..

IMHO, D will either die or strive depending of Walter: if he manage to 
do a similar thing for the language, the website, the documentation, the 
library (and by this I don't mean Tango which started first by doing a 
Phobos incompatible library!! *) then D will be the next C++, if he 
doesn't then eventually D will fade away..

Note that I don't claim that this is easy to do: it took significant 
efforts for Linus to change his way of working and he could rely on a 
very involved team..
