Not just the GC, almost all of the druntime shouldn't be in there.

There are three things directly tied to the compiler that do need to be 
in there:

1. Attributes
2. Intrinsics (*sigh* atomics not picking that battle with dmd right now)
3. Hooks, must be templated (has its own benefits in simplifying the 
compiler quite significantly)

Everything else is library code like bindings which super doesn't need a 
compiler developer to look at them. And that is the point, its different 
groups that should be maintaining it, merging it will not encourage it, 
it will only mean people step on each others toes more.
