I am wondering what happened to the proposal of adding "ownership with ref 
counting" a few years ago (<https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/144>). In 
the issue that follows (<https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/177>), "#144 
is not dead but scheduled for Nim version 2 which is a couple of years away. 
The reason for this is that owned is quite a breaking change and we're better 
served with stability now that version 1 is out and with us for the years to 
come."

I look at the roadmap (<https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/437>) and it 
seems the main goal is to get rid of legacy gc modes, used shared memory, and 
make `orc` the default gc. The rest look like various cleanups and fixes.

Is this semantic change to the language still on the table or it's basically 
been chopped?
