What about backport to 2.2.x with ref-counted proposal?
Such changes could would not affect existing code.

I'd like to repeat that in general, global factory should be replaced
with shared object (e.g. managed by shared_ptr from Boost or our own
home-made shared smart pointer).
static factory can cause problems too:
