I admit that I haven't tested the #unloadMetacello method recently as that test would wreak havoc with my test environment, but then I haven't gotten any bug reports on #unloadmetacello either:)

However, I will add an #unloadMetacello test to travisCI to ensure that it functions as advertised moving forward.
