I have no time right now and just skimmed through the emails so I may be wrong.
I have the impression that goran is afraid that we manage squeak without using SqueakMap and that there is a competition with MC. This is not my view.
SM is not a tool to manage code, MC is. MC is not a tools for end-user that only want to easily access applications, SM is.
So I code and manage my code with MC and publish it using SM. Mixing the tools would mean that one will die and got frustration. So for squeak this should be the same.
