Exceptions/Errors in many other programming languages (say java, ruby) always provide stacktrace/backtrace information.
In JavaScript unhandled Errors get caught by window.onError.
Although that function does not get the Error object, so we have no access to the object's stack property.
Is there any reliable source of information about when will there be any change on that?

A stack trace is a report that provides information about program subroutines. It is commonly used for certain kinds of debugging, where a stack trace can help software engineers figure out where a problem lies or how various subroutines work together during execution.
The Error object and error. It contains 3 standardized properties: message, fileName, and lineNumber.
A stack trace is a list of the functions, in order, that lead to a given point in a software program. A stack trace is essentially a breadcrumb trail for your software. You can easily see the stack trace in JavaScript by adding the following into your code: console. trace();
The error object, which would contain a "sanitized" stack trace, is now being passed in as the fifth parameter to onerror in Chrome. You can read about it here: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=147127
At the time of this writing it's in Canary and should be pushed out to the stable Chrome release sometime later this month. If you're running Canary you can test it like so:
window.onerror = function (message, file, line, column, errorObj) { if(errorObj !== undefined) //so it won't blow up in the rest of the browsers console.log('Error: ' + errorObj.stack); } You can see as per the spec that they've also added the column number which IE 10 has also implemented.

It seems that the error object itself will be the fifth parameter supplied to onerror. http://html5.org/tools/web-apps-tracker?from=8085&to=8086
