I think that having to know and care about refcounts and zvals are more complicated than having an Spl class, which can hold a reference for a variable what can be destroyed to free memory. and there is a chance that people are familiar with the Weak references from other languages, while the zval approach only familiar for those that knows about php internals. so I think that from the userland POV, weak references are easier to grasp.
You're right for users who indeed have this problem. But I am worried about those users, which do not have the problem, but still have to know what WeakReferences are...but I should wait for the RFC.
