Cocoa does not "just leak"; or shouldn't; and we regularly check for
leaks in the frameworks. People leave apps like Mail or server processes
running for days; any leak could be bad in such a situation.
You should check to see what objects are leaking in your app, and if
they seem to be leaking due to bugs in the frameworks, please report a
bug. You can use tools such as MallocDebug or ObjectAlloc to see what's
leaking...
