who cares if the refcount for None is 5000 or 1610612736? As long as the refcount of *mortal* objects is the same as it was before, this shouldn't be a problem.
indeed:
$ python -c "import sys; print(sys.getrefcount(None))"
4110
and a newly started iPython session:
In [2]: sys.getrefcount(None)
Out[2]: 28491
It does seem a bit silly to actually be tracking that refcount :-)
