That would be no worse than what happens now - but its still not perfect (del ordering issues). Also, you would need to temporarily revive the cycles as mentioned above (to avoid accessibility of partially destructed objects).

I don't quite understand what you mean by "revive cycles". There is not need to revive any object in a cycle, as all objects are still alive (or else they wouldn't be garbage).
