I somehow feel that there is a commercial closed source 
opportunity in reducing the feature set somewhat (and fix 
critical bugs) then redo the memory model so that it performs 
well in production.

It makes sense for a business that have 5 developers working on a 
product to pay $10.000/year to get more productive. Of course, 
this is a shaky business model since the ROI could go out the 
window if the D community decides that a stable polished version 
of D is a worthy goal...
