Refine answer for when v6.d is going to come out
The date is the most pessimistic of those discussed, but probably the most suitable and vague enough to give to the end user.

Not for some time since a lot of work is needed.

Some time in 2018. The goal is to have something we want to call 6.d
32+
first, and for actual release dates to come later.

You can already use some of the new features by using C<use v6.d.PREVIEW>
35+
L<pragma|https://docs.perl6.org/language/pragmas>. Also, many of the 6.d
36+
features were already implemented in 6.c compiler, due to the lack
37+
(at the time) of the infrastructure to support separate language versions.
38+
Thus, when 6.d is released, you may find you were already using many
39+
of the new features.
