All this environments and shrinking work I've been doing lately has made me
aware of just how complicated and delicate class removal really is. I've
been thinking we should do some work on simplifying it in 4.6.

It may be that this *should* be the default behaviour, but I'm with Tobias,
we shouldn't change it lightly. If you want to release 4.5 soon, I don't
think there's enough time to test a change this fundamental.

Also, a nit: since it's not really a primitive, #primRemoveFromSystem:
should be called #basicRemoveFromSystem:
