Obviously that’s something that none of us developers want in the system but it would be good to have it from a promotional point of view I guess. Could applications like Dr. Geo benefit from such an environment?

The main idea is to have a "safe" image, or a way to block or restrict the modificable parts in the system, in order to avoid mistakes during the learning. It could include protected packages, reduced browsers showing by default user packages, configurable rules (by example: you can not create a class with empty category, you can not create a class with the same name that a known one). Maybe we can have a way to configure or to ask for permission to modificate some parts of the system. Also, some filters during debugging, to avoid "protected" code. An easy way to obtain that image The idea is to reduce the common errors that we make when we start programming also to help teachers. -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com
