Is there a visible limit of D evolution?

There were many right words about an important role of stable branches of
D compiler in big ("real-world") projects. I can understand the people who
use D for long time and have big amount of code, but I'm in the different
situation -- I just have started my switching from C++ to D. And for me
the changes in D after v.1.000 are much more valueable then the fact of
passing 'v.1.000 milestone'. IMHO, the next D version, 2.0 with
const/final/invariant and AST macroses, can make D more powerful and
attractive language. So I want see high speed of D evolution now and such
speed of language changing makes separation of D to 'stable' and
'unstable' versions undesirable at the current time (from my point of
view). But that question is going to be actual when D will reach some
limit in his evolution. When Walter Bright will have said: "There isn't
any new feature I want add to D". That will be point of the language
stabilisation.
So I want to ask Walter:
Do you see any visible limit in D evolution? Do you known the moment after
that you will say: "It's time to stop add new features to languages and
start collect user expirience after several years of stable language
version usage"?
