Now that Andrei has finished the allocators, he's redesigning the containers, and supposedly, std.container is going to be replaced with what he's working on (it'll probably called something like std.collection). How far along he is, or when he'll actually present anything approaching a final design, I don't know. He's posted a container or two for discussion previously, but they were more esoteric things, and he was clearly still working on a lot of the overall design of how the containers in general would be put together (e.g. how they would handle Big-O in their API). Once Andrei is farther along, I'm sure that he'll be looking for contributions towards filling out a full set of containers based on his general container API, but for now I'd suggest that folks just use the EMSI containers. - Jonathan M Davis
