It is very unpythonic to require that people destroy the
root explicitly before really exiting -- first of all, GC
should take care of this, second of all, when you exit
anyway, who cares.

If you want to take this on, find someone with commit
permission who cares about the issue enough to apply your
patch; or request commit permission yourself. I'm too busy
to care ATM. :-(
