Well, %u's point was that that shootout could attract developers (enterprises
even) to use D - even if they've never heard of D before (or haven't bothered
much), if they see it listed on that page and if it performs well they may try D.

But having no chance to get onto that page (in the near future) shouldn't
prevent us from doing our own benchmarks, of course. It's just a pity that they
won't get as much attention when they're not listed there.

What were the reasons for not listing D anyway?
