I don't agree; the time for D3 is still many years away. 
Transitiong to D3 now would be suboptimal, as the D2 language is 
still being "explored". The D community as a whole needs more 
experience with the language to understand pain points, so we can 
make more informed changes in D3 (if D3 ever happens; it may not 
need to).
