The last time I used the language, it was still using a garbage-collector and there were talks about transitioning towards a new way of doing things - I assume that ARC/ORC ended up being that destination.

Now that ARC/ORC is considered "complete," are there any remnants of the old GC still in the language, or has the entire ecosystem hopped over?

For most of us the move from GC to Orc is pretty transparent. Most libraries just work and don't require any major restructuring.
