Very true (see C++ and why D was needed ;) ), but of course the 
"perpetual design" stage of *D2* is over. I can certainly see an 
eventual D3 or D++ or E or whatever (with a smoother upgrade path than 
D1->D2), but not until D2 matures further.

At some point we have to dial back on breaking changes and let things 
settle before the next round of "bedding changes".
