It seems to me that an official 1.0 release will encourage library 
writers who might be waiting for D to stablize before investing too much 
time creating libraries for it. Everyone knows that "1.0" means "first 
cut." I don't think extensive libraries are necessary at this point. 
Relative stability of language features, however, would be desirable so 
that extensive libraries could be created without too much reworking 
later on.
