Yea, Tango is probably the main reason all my libs and code are D1 atm. But, 
AIUI, one of D2's biggest showstoppers for Tango is just simply being a 
moving target (which is also the secondary reason my stuff is still D1). So 
that's largely just a "finish D2" thing, which is already being pushed as 
much as it can be :)
