  Seems like a bad idea in a garbage-collected environment. Based on a scan of that thread, it seems like folks would really like debugging ("who is holding on to refs for this?"). Java doesn't have "free" and seems to do pretty well with GC (one can use profilers and what not to instrument and see where memory is leaking, heap dumps can be taken if things get out of hand in production).
