I don't mean this as disproof, but many companies are not using Phobos, 
even though they use D.

Sociomantic definitely does not (they use D1 currently, and their D2 
port probably uses a port of their library as well), and I believe 
Weka.io does not either.

Again, this isn't proof that Phobos isn't production ready. It depends 
on what you need, and whether Phobos satisfies that need.
