Under the circumstances, since this is a manual RR app, just releasing the 
UIDatePicker [ivar] in dealloc might be a superior approach.

If the UIDatePicker is a *top-level* object in the nib, the IBOutlet needs to 
be a strong reference -- unless there is some other guarantee that it will 
outlive the nib itself.

If it's not a top-level object, then the lifetime of whatever is keeping it 
alive needs to be considered instead. 

In either case, using a strong reference seems more robust, since it doesn't 
involve reasoning about the lifetime dependences, at the slight cost of an 
explicit release.
