Hi,
I hope you don't mind my opinion since it's my first post here. 
But in my defense I'm a lurker for years. For some reason I like 
this forum very much.

While I didn't read every answer in this particular thread, I 
thought the quote from OP can be very well summarised to:

"I need some sort of stability despite the numerous versions of 
D."

Thinking about this, I'm not sure a LTS support version is the 
best solution for this problem, because the primary thing you 
need is stability not support. What you need is the possibility 
to have a stable working environment when dealing with older 
versions. That your software is building even when new versions 
of a D compiler or some libraries are released. I think the 
solution to this lies in a package manager that allows for 
different versions of D including the associated libraries.
