People please disregard Richards comments about being fine to have resource
leaks. He is belittling the seriousness of the problem.
We should try to make Linux reboot once in 20 years. Not every Tuesday like
some other OSes.

If I can rephrase Richards comment I would say, if you can't release the
allocated resources, the OS will release the for you but only and only if you
terminate your process. Also, put comments that you are deliberately doing
this.

But, because of the nature of the open source development, every code that has
been published serves as tutorial, sample and skeleton to the next open source
developer, it is of the utmost importance to release all allocated resources.

The other major problem is that the way code is moved within a project or
copied to another project, what once was an exit path, it may end up being a
part of some other execution path and cause catastrophic problems on life
support equipment, elevators, SCADA, etc.
