This is also a great idea. Andreas decided he didn't like his implementation and we haven't really followed up since. I actually think it wouldn't hurt to use the same underlying system that Pharo is using (Metacello) if it works today, but I may be in the Minority on this one.
Chris Muller has made some pretty compelling arguments about using SqueakMap, which is also worth mentioning as a possible solution.

I'd like to reverse this statement. In the longer term I'd like to see SimpleMorphic into the core system, and get LegacyMorphic or BigMorphic or whatever we'd call it out of the core and into Squeaksource.
I think we could do even better: Make all the ui frameworks loadable and unloadable, and make it easy to implement your own.

Yes!

Not quite a plan yet, but great idea!
The old FullMorphic could be maintained as part of Etoys.
Another possible solution is to implement Andreas' idea about Community Supported Packages* (which slight modifications) and maintain it there. Of course, it has to be made unloadable/loadable first.
