I feel you're being disingenuous here. They're just talking about automatic cache eviction, which wasn't possible/trivial with the previous version of Relay.

I agree with you. But given the announcements own terminology, I think the misunderstanding is understandable.

I think the terminology is fair, given that I believe it uses a reference-counting mechanism to determine whether cached data is currently being used by a mounted component. But it's not quite as crazy as "JavaScript's GC sucks, we're inventing our own".
