While I think that is not a bad philosophy generally, where it gets
obnoxious for me is when I'm disbanding several cities (e.g., after
conquering a smallpox player) and two cities close to each other happen
to be disbanded on the same turn.  Generally, the settler formed from
the first city will be disbanded when the second city is disbanded. 
Yes, I can check to see if that will occur, but that's what I consider
obnoxious micromanagement.

So, what I would rather see is an option where if any units would be
disbanded, the city is not disbanded and a warning message is generated.
