I don't think that's enough.

Someone else mentioned that D needs an experimental branch, where 
the barrier is lowered to what can be put into it.

Since most users come to D from major languages, with vastly more 
features than D, they will not look nicely on a stagnant language 
that is missing features that are very important to them.

An expermental branch would breathe new life into the D 
programming language.

I expect most users of D would end up using that branch actually.

I think core team is too small, and possibly to busy, to be 
responsive to the needs of its users. That's why an experimental 
branch, under the management of others, would be useful.

I'd anticipate, it would give D the kick-up-the-ar#@ it surely 
needs ;-)

Oops. Was I sounding a little negative there.
