Presumably the old style refcounting framework will still be available - just link against that instead and retain/release/autorelease to your heart's content.
I will say I think you're behind the historical curve here - the whole history of computing is one of automating low level details and freeing programmers to concentrate on higher level aspects of their code. BTW Boehm asserts that use of his gc is not significantly more costly in cpu cycles than ordinary malloc.
