Even if a piece of software is reliable and has been heavily tested 
doesn't mean it can't be improved. The current GC has it's shortcomings 
and that has been acknowledged by Walter.

That doesn't mean it is unusable (On the contrary), just that under 
certain circumstances you should use other implementations and that's 
why a pluggable architecture is needed for garbage collection in the 
language.
