More on topic.

The fact that a SE release at Y is first widely adapted at Y+D should
not matter much.

If feature XYZ come out in 2012 instead of 2013 you will get it 1 year
earlier no matter what value of D.

I guess D could decrease over time, but I find it more likely that it 
will increase over time.
