This has come up as one issue for adoption to D. D2.x is on its way,
unstable, and D1.x is getting the ax. While Walter has said that the
compiler will continue to get support, no one in the community knows
what the library support will be like. I came across an article where
even Python wasn't chosen for a project because of the eminent release
of Python 3. He also dismisses Ruby and Clojure for other complaints
people have expressed about D.

It's just one opinion. Others will use Python, because Guido van Rossum
is not afraid to fix, change, and improve things, even in point
releases.
I'd rather see D follow the Python path in this respect after D2 is
finished, than the C++ 'the world freezes' approach. At times, it is
inconvenient, but it also keeps a language and its library vital.
