Yeah, the statement would have better been written, "D has been 
around more than 10 years now, without much adoption and been 
through internal segregation but appears to be pushing through 
and increasing development support. While this past is 
concerning, it has at least demonstrated survival ability."

But I'm not sure that is obvious from the outside, there 
certainly is evidence that supports it.
