Looks like it'a still an opt-in experimental option at this point rather than the default. Preaumably they'll fix these caveats before recommending it for general use.

If I recall correctly, I read that the intention is to eventually make ORC the default, not ARC. (ORC is like ARC, but it avoids problems with cycles.)

Yes, you're totally right! That's the exact reason ORC should eventually become the new default GC.
