He never said explicitly, he was just making a general statement. Not that it matters whether he did or didn't, there's a lot of things wrong with C, it will most likely eventually disappear, but not for reasons outlined in this article. That's what he was saying.

Anyone that has to rely on their name for an argument isn't worth listening to.

Yes it is very much still a WIP, what is currently implemented, how it is implemented and the fact it is already in the compiler (without a switch) is rather disappointing. Unless the implementation drastically changes, the outlook for the feature is not good at all.

Don't know anyone that uses the D GCC compiler, it is still playing catch up. The frequency of new D releases with intended and unintended breaking changes, usually source only ever compiles for a very narrow range of versions of D. What people usually focus on is the latest, unless there is a new bug that prevents them from using the newest version.
