?Neil Schemenauer's GC patch in python1.6?

[Norman Shelley]

Is Neil Schemenauer's GC patch scheduled to be in python1.6?

I'm currently getting hit with huge memory leaks probably due to
circular references. Even after going through and removing the most
obvious ones it has helped only a little.  Having to design programs and

algorithms with reference counting in mind is just as bad as having to
remember to remember to use free() when in C or C++. Python must be
better than it  currently is in order to sell it to others   who have
not yet seen the light.
