What forcing those people to reconsider their decision to use D 
if the changes become an hassle?

For example, I do talk a lot here, because not only I do like D 
and its community but also am a language geek at heart.

On my day job there is no chance I could ever use D, as we only 
do JVM/.NET/Mobile consultancy, the last C++ boat sailed around 
2006.

Sometimes I do advocate D though, but those people won't jump 
into a language they cannot consider stable enough.
