Once https://github.com/libgd/libgd/pull/692 lands, the goal would indeed be to switch away from using a gd fork to bundling an unpatched upstream gd (and maybe unbundling in the future). This is not entirely easy as the codebases have diverged, but custom allocators are the current technical blocker. Regards, Nikita
