I think it's disingenuous to treat a lack of release as a lack of 
progress. As it so happens in this case, it's the fact we rely 
currently on one person to do the release, and it's a very 
non-automated process. That is going to be remedied.

It's very obviously not on life support, just look at the commit 
activity here: https://github.com/dlang

While you are free to draw your own conclusions however you want, 
I think either you are not looking at the right metrics, or you 
have some other reason to be leaving D.
