There are exceptions to the OS cleaning up your mess for you. For example, if you allocate feature memory then don't free it, the OS won't reclaim it until a reset. Also, don't expect "garbage collection" while your program is running. Don't be surprised if some of your clients have very little free memory, even on some of the newer devices that have plenty of built in memory to start with. You very well might not have much free memory to burn.
