LuaJIT's roadmap at all.

But you can compile LuaJIT to have a lot of Lua 5.2 compatibility, although without _ENV and overriding __gc for tables. I don't think Mike P regards the latter as intrinsically bad, but he will wait for his new garbage collector in 2.1 before implementing it. 

Someone posted an _ENV patch for LuaJIT a while back:

I've never tried it, but there you go.
