Alright, so it sounds like there are two targets: one supporting 10.3+
and not supporting GC and one supporting 10.4+ with GC support.
I can think of a few places offhand where I rely on the retain count
system for memory management and don't use strong links. For example,
when I make an appcast, I just free it in the delegate callback method
to avoid an extraneous ivar. Unfortunately, making the retain count
operations no-ops will probably result in a few unexpected and hard-to-
track-down bugs.
I'll have to be vigilant! :)
