Does ARC support dispatch queues?

I'm reading apple's documentation about "Memory Management for Dispatch Queues":

Even if you implement a garbage-collected application, you must still retain and release your dispatch queues and other dispatch objects. Grand Central Dispatch does not support the garbage collection model for reclaiming memory.

I know that ARC is not a garbage collector but I'd like to be sure that I don't need to dispatch_retain and dispatch_release my dispatch_queue_t

Just a follow up here... If your minimum deployment target is iOS 6, ARC now manages them.
