All the talks are in the published schedule. I have checked the list of people giving talks but I did not found Andrei's name, that is why I am asking. That means the answer to your question is no.

That would create lots of problems: - There are multiple versions of the language. - What happens when a version dies? What do you tell the developers (perhaps even businesses) that relied on a version they downloaded from the official homepage that now have a dead version? - What if a developer makes weird changes (like removing int, which would still be a subset) or goes Windows-only because of the burden maintaining for multiple OSes? Is that something that should be promoted on the official homepage? These are just the problems that immediately come to mind. I'm sure there are others. Open source is wonderful because it lets things like this happen. That doesn't mean we want to promote them on dlang.org.

I do not intend to make any changes to D itself other than turning off features. The main effort will be update documentation that accurately reflects what works in the language. So there will be a new language reference. The project will be hosted at https://github.com/laser-d I hope to start creating content soon. Regards Dibyendu I was thinking about something similar: Basic-D, a subset of D which would be a perfect starting language with appropriate docs and tutorials. Maybe these type of subset languages could be integrated in the D frontpage.
