'cause compiler and libs are complex beasts. there are people that have
the necessary knowledge and they can write things faster (and better).

i'm sure that if Walter or Andrei made official claim "we want CDGC in
DMD as official GC", that people will start some serious hacking.

there is alot more motivation to hack on something if people know that
their work is much wanted in mainline DMD. CDGC is not worse that
current GC for windows and MUCH better for *nix. it's a clear and
instant win. c++ interop is... well, questionable.

note that "GC is top priority" is not the same as "poring CDGC is top
priority". the first is "ok, let's think about it" and the second is
"ok, we know what to do".
