With Python what happened for some years was that some companies were using it for lots of internal project, but not disclosing its use, for fear that the upper management could scream, "whats that python crap! That is not java! " I know because I worked on one of them (a fortune 100 bank). The same happens with lots of other technologies inside Big Corps (MySQL comes too my mind too), they are first used by programmers and people that know their job in a semi stealth way and later they are accepted by the people whose main job is internal company politics and can't tell the difference of a ref from a pointer. I'm not saying this is the case with D2, I would not use it my daywork production code yet (but my play project at home is already over 5000 lines of code and the last version of dmd fixed all the bugs I stumbled on while developing it), but this is surely going to happen a lot once D2 stabilizes.
I agree that the most likely route for D is in through the back door.
