It's useful to know your pain experience, but please don't turn 
this thread into FUD 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear,_uncertainty_and_doubt ). 
Possible solutions only come from more rational discussions.

In another thread people are discussion a solution that will help 
you, a "Stable D", updated only once in a time, like every 6-8-12 
months, that has no know regressions and where only nonbreaking 
changes are allowed (here Phobos modules deprecations are 
probably to be intended as breaking changes).
