Question: Do you think that bugs spotted by a GC collection are common enough to change the GC thresholds in development mode (new -X dev flag of Python 3.7)?

I'd prefer that the development / debug environment be as much like production use as possible, so that surprises crop up during development rather than after deployment.  Additional monitoring is fine, but I think changing behavior is a no-no.

Cheers,
