I tend to agree.
After 10 years of D, nothing stable still exists. We may call 2.059
stable, but frankly, it isn't.
This have a lot to do with the fact that new feature are included (with
news bugs) in the same stream of version than bug fixes. In other terms,
bug are fixed but at the same time, bugs are added with new features.
The natural result is that D is not stable yet, and never will be as
long as the same process is used.
The proposed versioning system solve that problem. It doesn't matter if
that very system is chosen in fact, but the current one is certainly not
the one D needs.
