I feel like dropping D1 was not such a good move. Especially if 
full ABI compatibility with D2, people could have chose to write 
some of the less critical modules of their software in D2 (along 
with the enthusiasm of discovery), while still having a 
stable&non-experimental compiler for the really critical things.

Then, D1 would have become D1.5 by integrating the D2 time-proven 
features etc., just as D2 could become D2.5.

Is too late (or undesired) to resurrect D1 in maintenance mode? 
It is a bit strange that one of the most successful stories of D 
(Sociomantic) uses D1, still the compiler is ignored and 
everybody seems pretending that is a D (D2) success story.
