I wasn't referring to COM explicitly. But having objects being freed when the developer didn't expect it (because that was not the behaviour before), is what is going to cause troubles. When you work with reference counted Interfaces you know what to expect and coded accordingly [eg: by putting checks in place, knowing how to pass interfaces with/without incrementing/decrementing reference counts etc.].
