Yes, in 2.1.x there was no good place for explicitly releasing the
pipeline; this required some incompatible changes we did in 2.2; the
pipelines are released there explicitly and not automatically.
If the pipeline is not released properly, this means that all pipeline
components are not released, creating a hugh memory leak.
