As a hobby user of D - personally not really care..
But just to share my idea, how it could be improved:

The speed itself probably not that important. Predictability 
would be much more desired.
By predictability I mean - in the beginning of the cycle (start 
of the year) Core team is choosing things that they wanted to 
implement/fix (high level estimation).
And again only the order of those things is important, not actual 
dates.
Something like:
In this year we would like to:
* Add string interpolation
* Add tuples
* Add pattern matching (with fix of sumtypes)
* Implement modern concurrency (with fix of allocators)

So community and especially tooling people will be able to plan 
their work for tools support as well. Of course fixing some bugs 
is a continuous infinite task.

This approach could eliminate situations like "nobody asking but 
hey now you have to live with this cool feature! It is easy PR - 
ready to merge", which is after several years still not ready..
