I prefer "System" because it matches the other class names used else
where in the image: SystemDictionary, SystemNavigation, SystemOrganizer
and SystemVersion all have to do with code.
It does seem that "System" is used a little more broadly than if it
meant "the infrastructure which allows the system to run." SystemWindow
doesn't quite belong, for example, and the System-* class categories
contain a few more classes than are necessary for the functioning of
the system.
In general, though, that's what "System" does means, and so I favour
SystemNotifier and SystemModified over CodeNotifier and CodeModified.
The names of the actual events could be simplified though, as Brent
suggested.
