Unfortantely I don't have an up-to-date understand of the issues regarding modules and reference cycles. As I understand it, the patches makes the shutdown procedure replace references to modules with weak references thereby allowing most to be GCed. Running finalizers in that environment is causes less problems then just directly clobbering global vars with None.
