Its a serious topic but that gets way too much joking.

While D is part of the foundation, that is not the issue. It is 
leadership, focus, goals, long term vision ... There are not that 
many people that can take over that task successfullly.

I noticed its all a joke to people. Posted in a other topic about 
the fragmented nature of D and the high focus on solo developers. 
And the issue of what happens if a main developer of a extension 
has no more time or god forbids dies. That same applies to D as a 
language.

That D is in a Foundation means nothing. Apple without Jobs is 
still Apple but you can see the difference in there products 
after his dead.
