Obviously you have a problem using GC, for example if you have an
observing window and an observed model instance. The model probably
lives longer than the window. (Think of info windows …)
This seems to be the reason for the weak reference using GC.
I've been reading this thread and I don't understand it in the case of
GC. Why don't you still have to remove the observer from the
notification center when you are not longer using it. Even if it is
held as a weak reference, it will still remain registered for
receiving notifications, so what when the observer is eventually
collected, won't the notification center continue sending messages to
the observer as long as it remains registered to receive them?, Please
clarify.
