I already made the switch to D2 almost a year ago, and definitely wont be going 
back to D1. I didn't need to make many changes to my custom runtime either, the 
ABI between the two versions is for the most part the same.

I must say I was a bit confused with the added const and immutable qualifiers 
at first, but now I couldn't live without them. The shared qualifier is making 
me drool too, I can't wait until it is implemented properly. 

D1 was enough to make me an instant fan of the language and switch the planning 
of a few personal projects from C++ to D. D2 was what really made me dig 
headfirst nearly fulltime in the language.

I don't think D1 will vanish after D2 hits final, because it's an easier 
language to deal with, but D2 will most likely attract more programmers in the 
long run, especially if it continues getting better at concurrent programming.
