Bottom line re GC in D

[Adrian via Digitalmars-d]

Hi all,

I know there's been quite some discussion about the GC in D, but 
I've been busy doing other things and haven't been following that 
closely.

So I'd appreciate it if someone could fill me in about 
proceedings/decisions in this regard...

  + Has the GC been dropped?
  + If not, can it be disabled entirely/completely?

D has always greatly impressed me, but I need a systems language 
without garbage collection; has D become that now?

Thanks in advance for any responses.
Adrian.
