I have read a good amount of his interesting blog posts, he has shown
me many things I didn't know about. And he was very happy about the
idea of helping D concurrency. Do you know why he has changed his
mind regarding this? Maybe because Walter has refused the
uniqueness/lend ideas?
You may want to email Bartosz and ask him.

I will ask him, via his blog, and then will post the link.

It's good to know that my ideas are still circulating in the D community. Thanks, guys!
Since I'm now put on the spot, I have to explain my recent detachment from D.
I didn't so much "decline to contribute" as hit a wall. I'm a bit of a perfectionist and it's hard for me to subscribe to the "good enough" philosophy (as long as it's better that C++, it's fine for D). My impression is that, as the release of D2 and the publication of Andrei's book are nearing, this attitude is gaining ground. I try to fight this attitude but it's an uphill battle. Or, as Andrei puts it, I start whining and give up ;-).
Please stay in touch, we will try to win you back...
Of the issues you mention, this one seems the easiest to address:
As far as my thread work went, I had an almost working implementation of spawn,
except for a nasty compiler bug which resisted all efforts to reduce it to a
simple test case.
Could you give us _any_ kind of test case (even if it's enormous)?
