I'm with Don - it may not be perfect, but I can understand it. If we go 
along the other track, we're talking 1-3 months delay.

Start thinking like project managers for a little while - yes, a 
pathological proposition. Once D2 is out, you can go back to business as 
usual. The alternative is endless procrastination and D being a language 
that was superseded before it was finalized.
