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.
