That was not a comment about GC implementations in general, it 
was about D's GC implementation, check the original post on

Andrei is a smart guy, and the post was very honest, it was not 
biased at all.
And it raises many concerns I see in many post by people who are 
a lot less involved with D, like the issues with the GC and the 
illusive vision
