I agree that it isn't too useful to ship the garbage collector, but
have it turned off.  On the other hand, we're going to get a lot of
unhappy users if GC bugs cause inexplicable crashes in large
programs.  It would be hard to sell Python for important applications,
e.g. long-running server processes, if there was a small possibility
that the program could crash through no fault of its own.
