From a (go ahead, call it "shrewd" and "marketing liar", I won't mind)

Sounds like a good idea.
I'm all for it. My guess, however, is that this is another case of couch
quarterbacking that's unlikely to effect a touchdown. Today, the majority of
discussions on digitalmars.d is about D2 because - surprise! - the stuff that
people are interested in debating has mostly to do with D2. You can't tell
people what they should be talking about. People vote with their pens. If a
separate newsgroup is created for digitalmars.d.next, then that won't
automatically increase the quantity and quality of D1-related traffic on
digitalmars.d. Then the archetypal noob tunes to digitalmars.d, sees a
tumbleweed rolling by, and moves on.
We could rename D.learn to D and D to D.future-issues.
Then the two newsgroups would be /appropriately seeded/.
Other (mostly open source) projects tend to use -users and -devel. I guess
d-users and d-devel could be used in this case too.
Yes.
