Actually, this is a good thing. Other environments work too like this. In 
delphi, for example, objects delete themselves if they are part of a visual 
hierarchy. Otherwise you would have to keep track of all the objects (mostly 
views) you add (or keep a pointer to them in the parent class, which isn't 
needed, since you can use FindView() instead).
