Some very nice, too :)

It's not particularly clear to me what your goal is in that post.
Something like "I'm trying to model Python's GC" or "here's an
alternative way for the Python GC to work" would make it clear, so
that feedback could be more objective.

Also, a docstring with the executive overview on top of the module
helps a lot, as does including your usage examples as doctests. I've
heard these suggestion regarding my posts recently ;)

However, I think the kind of deep, conceptual feedback I believe you'd
like is available here and elsewhere[1]. It's just a matter of bad
luck/bad timing IMHO :)
