The roadmap is still accurate. Evan talked about this at elm-conf, and we will be releasing the video with 0.19 (it goes into a lot of "why?" and mirrors the roadmap nicely.) I can't speak to major language features, but Evan is still working on Elm full-time. The language is alive and kicking.

Is the roadmap reliable though?. It states that the major focus of 0.19 will be single-page apps, and that features such as server-side rendering, tree shaking, code splitting, and lazy loading may be introduced. However, a status update was posted in elm-dev in July

I also think it’s a good idea. I’ve brought it up with Evan and Richard before. But I can tell you from experience that getting changes merged into the Random module is very difficult. Also, shameless plug for mgold/elm-random-pcg, which includes this and many other useful functions built on a
