I'm not sure there was any estimation..
People were pissed off because of breaking tooling/projects every 
release..

I'm not sure how bad people will feel about breaking once a year 
with clear suggestions (semi-automatic scripts) of fixing 
breaking parts

Seems not so many complaints in Rust/Zig.. and I think they have 
more production code than D (even Zig which is not even 1.0)
