I suppose D/Phobos is currently still too volatile to start committing
to shared library version numbers yet. One *could* in theory start doing
it and just end up with very large version numbers, which the system in
theory can handle just fine, although people seem aversive to the
possibility of having /usr/lib/libphobos.so.2.x for all x from 0 to some
very large number.
