Regarding the language itself - your opinion is neither rational 
nor popular. For contrast, I think that D2 is more usable than D1 
right now due to higher expressiveness and new language features 
catching more bugs before I have to waste any time hunting them.

One year is plenty of time to complete a D2 port of Tango. Also, 
remember the state of Phobos of one year ago. Apply the delta to 
now, what do you see?

Most importantly, you didn't answer why you will require 
*continued support* of D1 one year in the future, and how it 
would justify sacrificing progress elsewhere. I think that a 
one-year warning is very generous.

Wait, so you actually believe that a vote would go in your favor?
