[DUG] Developers not upgrading

To be honest, I had been hoping for something more helpful. 

Because it's not immediately obvious to me how to go about tracking down
a memory leak in any one of a few dozen components on IDE shutdown
without just eyeballing the code, which I would think would take a
prohibitive amount of time, compared to me just using Task Manager to
blow away the IDE process when it happens.

I've been a Delphi dev since Delphi 1, and I'd like to think I've a
reasonable idea how to write clean, safe Delphi code myself, but
job-inherited/otherwise acquired components loaded into the IDE is
another thing.

Yes. If its not memory leaks then what other sin does a component commit
that results in this behaviour.
