I can't agree with it.

Since this thread is about robust RAII implementation, the main
challenge is "Is it possible to make **all** Python interpreter
implement it without significant overhead?"

In CPython case, the challenge is "Can we removing all possible reference
cycles?".

Even if you can't agree some examples explained is "practical",
it can be enough reason for we don't go to proposed RAII way.
