I agree. Faster AF hasn't been an issue for me since all I have are manual
focus lenses. As with computers, the latest model is always a bit obsolete
by the time it hits the market - its never ending. My biggest concerns are
image quality and how it handles and the D does very well in each respect.
And, I've begun to figure out the processing of RAW files and am very
impressed with the results.

A higher frame rate, and faster AF, would definitely be welcome. But
unless it's your primary source of income the "D" can serve quite well.
I think we've reached the point now where many "improvements" may be
more sales hype than devices that will allow one to obtain better
photos.
Prices of dslr's seem to have stabilized, and are such that quality
bodies loaded with useful features are available for most amateurs.
I don't think that waiting for the "next" model will provide a
significant improvement that's cost effective.
