Are you talking about DMD or D?

I think that all *D* needs is some editing of the spec (disambiguating, 
typo corrections, etc.) A feature freeze NOW wouldn't bug me a bit.

DMD on the other hand has a ways to go. I've got a few pet peeves* and 
there is a bunch of known issues under dstress and the issue list.

Lastly after D is declared 1.0 RCn, DMD should be confirmed to actually 
(for the most part) implement it correctly before it is declared 1.0. 
For that I'm thinking of a systematic sweep of the spec where test cases 
are generated for as many parts as can be managed. Each test case should 
be confirmed to work or be tagged as a correct program (a.k.a a known 
issue).

Submitting these to dstress might be a good idea also.
