A lot of people in this thread are missing the point. This hobby is about experimentation and trying new things, maybe improving on existing commercial implementations, maybe going down dead ends, but so what?
If Codec2 comes to fruition then I for one will probably support it in my D-Star repeater software, it'd be fun. Maybe no one will use it, but so what? It's a hobby. I would also like to see a move away from 4800 Bd GMSK and maybe go to 9600 Bd and using the G3RUH modem, most of our radios would be able to handle it, it'd be easy to distinguish on air, and there'd be extra bits available to add some FEC to the slow data.
