Specially because  not all breaking changes are possible, otherwise one
has something like Python 3. Which is a very good improvement, but leads
to resistance to upgrade.

On the other hand, these type of continuous changes lead to FUD about D
not being stable and usable for projects.

So I guess a kind of balance needs to be achieved.
