I think you could leak a little 20 years ago too, or use unnecessary amounts of memory - in most cases.
It's just a few applications and parts of applications that really are resource constrained and critical enough to really matter...

On the other hand, anyone know if the leak in the X server ever got fixed? IIRC, it was small enough that it was only a problem running the server for months on a resource constrained machine.
