What relationship does Stackless have with user code creating cycles among
Python objects?  I don't see any.

One thing getting overlooked here is how many newer C-level Python objects
register with GC, due to that so many new features end up creating reference
cycles.  For example, create a new-style class and you've created cycles.
If you have a customer who disables cyclic GC, they'll have to avoid other
newer features too, or endure leaks.
