The gist is, you cannot expect that destructors will be run in

They may be called, and most of the time they are. But the
language nor the current implementation makes a guarantee that
they will be called.
I understand that we can't deterministically predict when a
destructor will be called, but if we can't deterministically
predict if a destructor will be called, that seems asinine.
What condition(s) would cause a destructor for an object that is
managed by the GC to potentially not be called?
Thanks,
