I'd honestly really like to see in what kind of code need this extensive
use of references. I use talloc in multiple projects now and I haven't
found a single place where a reference is really needed. The only case
where someone proposed a reference turned out to be a place where the
code was bad enough we decided to change how it worked anyway.

Personally I am for deprecating talloc_reference() and keep the pure
tree approach. And use talloc destructors to deal with the few cases
where something like a reference would be useful.

Simo.
