Lukas,

My understanding is that the OB tool set is the presumptive choice for
Pharo - unless I'm wrong, that makes this a Pharo related topic, if only
to reopen the choice in light of your position.  Do as you want, but
Object Arts had this idea and very quickly decided the simpler notifier
had a very essential role.  They left the option, activated the notifier
by default, and strongly warned against deactivating it.  That was based
on being bitten by the kinds of concerns I have documented here.

Sorry, but I think nobody understands:

The "issue" reported has absolutely nothing to do with Pharo, but with
the extra package OB-Tools that Damien decided to include with his
development images. There is no option to enable or disable the
pre-debugger, and I won't add one either:
<http://mail.wiresong.ca/pipermail/ob-dev/2008-August/000580.html>.

If you don't like OB-Tools you either don't load the package or select
a different toolset by evaluating "ToolSet askForDefault".
