Revert "Handle enabling/disabling observers at different levels of the class hierarchy."

This reverts commit ad62f1928768bd2676958a4a08512bad342fe469 because the current
subclasses implementation leaks memory in development.

Instead of keeping an array of subclasses, the better solution is to
ask the parent if an observer is being disabled or not.
