Patrick and I were chatting about this yesterday. He feels that if we had unique pointers (which is really reference counting up to a maximum of 1 reference), a lot of places would use them (maybe even most applications where we use reference counting right now). The rest a GC could handle. If this is really the case, giving up generalized ref counting doesn't sound too bad.
