Oh, I wasn't suggesting that we only highlight commercial projects. I was just saying that I expected the term "in production" to refer to commercial projects spefically. Whether we want to highlight major open source projects and/or other non-commercial projects is another matter entirely - though I suspect that commercial projects would generally carry more weight than other types of projects in terms of convincing people that D is being used seriously in the real world. - Jonathan M Davis
