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.
I don't see a chance for trouble when the object is destroyed *after*
the last usable reference disappears.
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.].
Automatic reference counting works pretty well, doing it manually is
asking for trouble.
