This is very useful information. Is there a thread or document

Just that it's useful to have bigger picture view of what is on
the horizon. If there's nothing readily available, perhaps a
talk at DConf?

This is based on conversations I've had with Andrei and Walter on
here and on Github.
There was a bunch of threads here about six months ago by Andrei
talking about the different problems he was running into when
trying to implement @safe and @nogc containers. One of the
conclusions was that ref counting was going to have to be a
nessesary component of the solution. This led to DIP1000 because
of Andrei's conclusion that "Safe reference counting cannot be
implemented as a library"

Also, there's the vision document, which lays out some goals but
does not talk about containers:
