The issue is that libobjc2 does not function on as wide a variety of platforms as GCC and libobjc.  We have, thus, been forced to compromise to support a wider audience.   The issue is that this includes many corporate interests that require this support.  To suddenly deprecate it would be damaging to the project.  During the meeting, we all agreed that coming up with a roadmap to move us further towards using ARC and other features of LLVM/clang would be a good thing, but this must happen over time.   I will start an email thread that discusses this shortly.

I understand that this switch is not going to happen tomorrow (or in the next few months), but I was obviously lacking a clear view of this project moving into this direction at all.
So, thanks for getting the ball rolling now.
