Andrew's response is spot-on, but I still think this is a good point.

Revocable proxies are a deterministic feature that we're adding anyway
that can address X% of leaks. WeakRefs would be a nondeterministic
feature, which even experts can't reason about correctly in my
experience; suppose it can address Y% of leaks.

I don't buy that Y >> X.
