I made a chart around 6 months back that tracks the timeline of gdc vs. dmd
versions of D2.  And in it you can see a clear change of pattern from when
it was just Walter maintaining and releasing to when dmd switched over to
github and founded the core language team.

But someone else or I should make a few more, such as one that tracks code
changes between releases, to get a wider picture of why it seems that other
vendors appear to fall behind.
