For what is worth, I share David's view. I have 5 apps using D2 in production, one of them for a workflow that is now responsible for a couple of M€ worth of revenue at work (it was an unexpected success :) ), and we hard-code to D2 8 + patches to make sure everything works. 9 was a bust, 10 had some issues with extensions we use, haven't tried 11 yet.

If I cannot make upgrade of D2 between minor version safely, then it should be considered alpha.

Mind you I still think D2 is our best solution (Kelp and Web::Machine being closed by depending on the needs of the project) and all new projects start with D2, but still on our patched D2 8.

Bye,
