This has been discussed so many times:

1) Freeze the current features, and release as the final version 
D2 (i.e put into maintenance mode, only have bug fix update, not 
any more new language features). I think any serious enterprise 
users want language/library stability.


2) all future work going to D3, for you to add / experiment new 
language features; and for adventurous users to play with it.


So, one more time, how about D3? Walter, do you hear?
