Be garbage collected?  -- No.  They are in the hash table, so their 
reference count will be greater than zero.

Note that just because the Connection objects are there, doesn't mean 
that the connections will still be valid/open.  They will time-out.

"Automatically removed"?  -- No.  Where did you get that idea, anyway?
