Object should not because the implementation is very different/incompatible.
All the others could but they already derive from the ObjectBase class so doing
what you suggest now would require some multiple inheritance which I would
rather avoid.

Since I plan to remove eventually the ObjectBase class from their inheritance
tree, could we defer using RefCountBase in the classes which derive from
ObjectBase until I have done that removal ?

Other than that, looks good to me.
