Two years ago, I tried to use a particular construct and DMD incorrectly detected that a statement was not reachable [1]. OK, D1 had been frozen earlier that year, so I thought it would be only a matter of time until the higher priority stuff had been taken care of and someone took care of this issue. That's my experience with stable languages, even if they aren't particularly mainstream (say, Lua).
That would be true if the bug list for D1 was shrinking. But it is not, it is growing. A bug's age does not indicate its importance to be fixed.
(The growing number of bugs reflects the increasing usage of D, not that it is going unstable. The number of regressions is very small.)
