My 2 cents is that I think, in hindsight, it might have been a mistake to declare
a 1.0 release when so many breaking changes to the language spec were still to be
made.  D1 seems like it's an artificially stable spec for people who needed a
stable spec.  However, it was released before the "real" spec was finalized and
will likely have little future once D2 is finalized.  I don't think the same
mistake should be made by releasing D2 as yet another artificially stable spec
when there is still likely to be massive code breakage in a subsequent release.
