If there are such plans, I'm not aware of them.

Performance is one reason; less than universal support for those C9x
features is another.

I think the current view in Emacs development is that 64-bit platforms
solve this problem so easily that its solution for 32-bit machines is
much less important than working on other Emacs features.
