I don't have a plan, and that's not what I can plan. They can plan in theory, but I believe that's very unlikely to happen.
if mold has multiple advantages over the official ones and no drawback, can't you send them an RFC once mold reaches 1.0?
Great achievement, does it support all deployment targets, build configurations for Swift and Objective-C?
mold/macOS aims to be a drop-in replacement for the Apple's ld. I don't think it supports all the feature you mentioned already, as it is still pre-Alpha. But we are working on it to make it "just work".

Don’t know if that’s the final answer here (didn’t actually investigate), but system is the time spent in syscalls, and locks are usually provided by the OS, aka syscalls (though there might be userland components to avoid the syscall e.g. futex).
Thus the need for synchronisation of threaded program generally leads to higher system time. Though here mold is clearly a lot more efficient as well (lower user time).
How do I learn about what’s being discussed here? Why do I need a linker?

The Solaris Linkers and Libraries docs are very good and mostly relevant to Linux, with fewer distractions about Windows:
Does someone have a source explaining the state of the art? With all the different compilers, gcc, clang and the different flavours of linkers: ld, lld, mold, gold, ?

I sort of wish Apple, Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Facebook all contribute $200K each and say hey can you now make Mold MIT or BSD.
$200K is nowadays an annual total compensation of a junior dev. I believe mold values much more than a one year outcome of a typical 5-person junior dev team.
*in the US.
In my country, those salaries are completely unheard of.
