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?
None of gold, lld or mold can replace GNU ld entirely because they don't cover all features that GNU ld has.
the whole embedded world uses linker scripts. for sure not mold goal. also, they don't have linker performance problems, but the big C++ apps have.
Read the readme. Full compatibility with gold/lld is a non-goal and will significantly slow down the linker IIUC.
