If you read well the error message it warns for removing a *pure  
Objective-C* method. It does not warn for methods defined in normal  
Ruby.
If my memory serves me right, removing a method is not supported by  
the Objective-C runtime. There is a work around to do it, by MacRuby  
is probably one of the rare applications to do it so it may cause  
problems.
