In which cases?
Shouldn't this be pulled and put behind a switch? I thought D's 
GC was supposed to be pluggable.

This way people could actually try to use it easily and provide 
valuable real-world feedback and use cases. With some luck we 
could even get someone to contribute/improve the GC (at least for 
their use cases).

It doesn't have to be the default. It doesn't have to be perfect 
to be released as experimental.

I would probably try it if I could enable it with a simple 
compiler/application switch, but I'm not going to pull and build 
it from the source.

Sounds to me like current situation actively blocks people from 
contributing instead of encouraging them.
