Kyle,
Thanks for the advice.
I programmatically add subviews to a view using a loop. The loop has a lot of logic in it. Not all subviews are the same. Some have bindings and some do not and not all bindings are the same. Some subviews have additional retained objects with their own bindings. So I would need to loop through all these objects in dealloc and figure out which ones have what bindings and unbind them. I have never used a looping construct in a dealloc method before, so that is why I was hesitating.
