Do we need a time-out in D evolution?

I totally agree. Beside of the fact that support for const is really an 
important language feature, I think it's necessary to stop the evolution 
at some point.

With version 1.0 released in Jan 2007 I started to take a closer look at 
D and considered to use it for production code. But the upcoming months 
showed that the following 1.xxx releases weren't just maintenance 
releases but constantly introduced new language features.

There is no roadmap on the website - no plans to create a standard for D 
- it seemed to me that it was nothing more than a playground to try out 
cool language features. And therefore not ready for production code yet.

I hope I'm wrong, since D is the language I've always searched for.
