It seems to me it is necessary to reconsider it:

Support for 16 bit computers. No consideration is given in D for mixed
near/far pointers and all the machinations necessary to generate good 16
bit code. The D language design assumes at least a 32 bit flat memory
space. D will fit smoothly into 64 bit architectures.
