I mean if there are two version of the RTL to be maintained then you get
stuck with the old version or you must upgrade your entire project to ARC.
It’s very heavy handed like that. This is of course assuming upgrading the
RTL is as easy as internally disabling free calls. All the container
classes need to call finalize instead of free now but is possibly a huge
disaster.
