D2 is unstable, therefore by definition ANY new feature added to it is 
also unstable so shouldn't be ported to stable D1. The only guarantee of 
  a given D2 feature's stability is when the entire D2 branch is locked 
off and stable and the D3 has begun. Cherry-picking features based on 
their perceived stability at a given time is dangerous.
