chronos has been acyclic for a good while for memory efficiency reasons - ie even with refc, it is a lot better to avoid cycles... as to arc, we don't test that specifically and I don't think we ever will. I imagine that in some future when orc is (more) stable we'll start using / supporting that, but ARC looks like a niche compromise that will never work quite well because developers will keep shooting themselves in the foot with it and then complain it hurts.
