I don't see any advantage of Emacs going from the current mark-sweep collector to a copying collector. I don't notice GC pauses using Emacs, and even after being up for weeks, I don't notice it bloating from memory fragmentation. It also seems like a lot of work to change a large, mature codebase to work with a GC that moves objects.
