I’m not sure that view controllers are special. My understanding is that objects that are instantiated from a nib are not (usually or ever?) deallocated - there is always a top-level object that holds a retain count - but objects that are created programmatically follow normal memory rules - they are deallocated when you (and any autorelease pools) no longer hold a retain count. I could be wrong. In addition to autorelease pools there could be other behind-the-scenes mechanisms (caches etc.) that have retain counts.
