Imaging we send object A from server to client as reference. On client object A will be represented by proxy and any message to it will produce remote interaction with object A on server side. Now what will happen if server will collect object A as garbage? Proxy on client will become broken because it will point to unexisting object on server and any message send will produce error. So simple weak arrays approach is not enough to manage distributed objects. Distributed garbage collection is required which is not implemented yet. Of course it is very important feature but for specific applications manual management is usable too. In case of remote debugging everything is cleaned when client disconnects debugger from server.
