There seems to some confusion between "phobos" (ddoc) and 
"library" (ddox).
Both are publicly available.

Afaict the plan is to move over to ddox at some point, because 
ddoc is way too limited, but (if i am not mistaken) this is 
blocked by existing bugs in ddoc.

Imho we should only host on documentation on dlang.org and mark 
the other as experimental by a separate subdomain.

The PR already has been merged, but you have to wait for the next 
release:
