As hard as it is to say this, unfortunate code breaking changese are going to be made. But only if they help achieve the goals listed above.

If this is the case then I think it is an incredibly bad choice to name it D or openD or anything similar

Names are really hard, but non compatible things should not share a name.

One of the coolest things the perl community ever did was changing the name of perl at the major version when perl 5 came out. That is so smart!, and should be the way all software projects function.
