[New-bugs-announce] [issue17243] The changes made for issue 4074 should be documented

[R. David Murray]

New submission from R. David Murray:

The section of the reference on the gc module goes into some detail on what the thresholds control and when collections are run, but does not currently document the backoff algorithm used when deciding whether or not to collect generation 2.  This should presumably be documented.
