Interesting point in chapter Evolution vs. Stability. Maybe v2 came to fast,
before v1 became popular?
The naming of D1 vs D2 is a bit misleading. v1 was actually a fairly
arbitrary snapshot of the development of D, to create a stable branch.
There was absolutely no pause in language developement.
D2 is completely different. It's a fully planned release.
