Comment (by nbruin):

 A simple test that detects some of the problems #10963 presently causes:
 {{{
 while True: k=random_matrix(Rationals(),30,20).echelon_form()
 }}}
 On 6.2beta4 this happily runs with constant memory footprint and about
 constant time per iteration.

 With #10963 applied, it gradually eats memory. The reason is that
 "integers mod p" and their categories pile up in memory. The iterations
 also take about twice as long and they slow down over time (as one would
 expect with memory use increasing).

 (see #13925 for why the choice of algorithm might not be so sensible, but
 it's a useful test for our purposes here)
