Make your programs as short as possible, but no shorter. Failing to free your memory makes for a shorter program. Using GC makes for a shorter program, but there is a whole class of problems that just can't be solved with GC.

I think deciding to not free your memory or use GC (instead of not) would count as having a different program.
