More importantly, since some platforms we care about probably won't support MPS, it could be that the old GC will have to stay with us for a very long time, alongside MPS. Keeping that old GC code stable and reliable is thus very important even if MPS will land (which I personally hope it will). Emacs is a very stable platform, and our users rely on us to keep it stable, even though we sometimes add semi-revolutionary new features to it.
