I don't agree with "who cares", but it doesn't matter so much for
embedded use. On a PC, it's nice to let go of memory when you're
done with it, so other applications can use it--but embedded, with
(usually) no other applications running, there's nothing to return
memory to and no other applications that could be using it, so the
problem sort of doesn't exist.
