It will take some more years to see D2 "stabilized" like that.
The decision to discontinue D1 has some disadvantages, but
keeping D1 updated uses some work time that could be (better)
spent improving D2.

The problem we have with this situation is that language users
will just run away to more stable languages.
Many people need upper management agreement for the set of
languages they use, if suggesting D might cause them to risk
their job, they won't do it.
