Automatic garbage collection won't destroy any unreachable objects less than 2 weeks old. This is the default time window; you can override it via the `gc.pruneexpire` config option.

Given this grace period, disabling AGC altogether is probably overkill, but there is nothing wrong with that, if it's really what you prefer.
