I too applaud this insight. As many may know, I'm helping a company move 
away from a fossilized language and it has decided to make its business 
depend on D. Although reacting to deprecations won't always come 
convenient, distributing the cost of evolution is much more preferable 
than making the massive investment they are in for now. So I'm sure they 
appreciate seeing these signs of D staying dynamic, averting sedimentation.
