Programmers cost money, it would be nice to have a D Foundation where companies can donate and maybe eventually use the funds to pay for professional staffing rather than relying only on contributors. The D foundation can eventually grow towards having engineers on the phone to reassure some about development bottlenecks in the low-level software. Examples would be Mozilla foundation or Wikimedia foundation but with an Oracle or IBM type of service for support. It's an easily missed requirement in corporate decisions for reliance on software.
Boost consulting comes to mind as well. Though I honestly couldn't say how practical this is for D today.
