There is no point putting up a barrier too. One of the best selling point of 
GNUstep was “your whole existing codebase for a modern Mac OS X app is simply 
one recompile away from being useable on a lot of different computers” since it 
was almost 100% code compatible with Mac OS X back in the time. Now GNUstep has 
fell out of sync with macOS, this selling point is failing. This can result in 
GNUstep being reduced to a mere academic curiosity.

As of “Objective-C 2.0”, that was mostly compile-time changes made when Apple 
switched from GCC to LLVM/clang. Should there be an influx of patches for that, 
most of them would head towards GCC not GNUstep.
