I'm with you. I never heard about it until now. It might explain some
weird unexplained behavior I've noticed over the years. If innocuous
commands such as narrow-to-region and eval-expression are disabled,
then surely such a dangerous command as not-modified should be disabled.

Thanks for the heads-up, I've just added

  (put 'not-modified 'disabled t)

to my .emacs.
