What's not finished in D1 that Walter isn't already working on because  
it's broken in D2 too?  My point is, you are worried that D1 won't be  
finished before D2 is finished, but I'm saying that won't happen if all  
the bugs in D1 are also in D2.

Every release of D2 is coupled with a release of D1, with bugs fixed in  
both versions.  This idea that D1 isn't being worked on seems incorrect to  
me.
