And continuing to tweak APIs and the like for minor improvements won't help 
with that. Yes, it's still the case that too much breaks from release to 
release, but I believe that that's mostly an issue of compiler regressions at 
this point, and those only get caught if enough people try the beta (which is 
why some have been pushing for Walter to announce the beta in D.announce 
rather than just in the beta list, which he's done this time around). Even if 
the situation isn't yet where we want it to be, it _is_ improving, and we want 
to make sure that the decisions that we make encourage stability so that we 
_will_ be considered stable in the near future.
