There is interest in it, and Rainer Schütze did a talk on it at DConf. At the 
current pace (assuming that Andrei actually posts one on Monday even though 
it's a federal holiday in the US), it'll be posted on June 3rd (and if he 
skips Monday, then it'll probably be June 5th). And actually, the precise GC 
changes stand a much better chance of making it into druntime in the short 
term than any concurrency changes do.
