The linked manifesto doesn't seem to be especially against garbage collection. And on their web site the latest news item is a "Lisp Jam"... The only reference to GC is in this sentencs: "The deadline is approaching or the rent is due or we have taxes to fill out and a manager on our back and someone asking us why we always spend so much time at the office, and we just have to stick the library or virtual machine or garbage collector in there to cover up the places we can't think through right now. " The situation is kind of choosing-shame-but-ending-up-in-war outcome[1] and is not saying that the referenced techniques (incl gc) would be generally bad.
