It's a term I picked up from work: SqueakTrunk is like a dessicated, dried out thing that's quite small, like a dessicated pea. But ReleaseSqueakTrunk is like the rehydrated pea, useful for cooking.
As the package layering work proceeds, and more packages become unloadable, I unload them from SqueakTrunk. ReleaseSqueakTrunk takes that small SqueakTrunk artifact and reloads all those unloadable packages.
The idea is that people just keep on using the ReleaseSqueakTrunk image, and without even realising it, are using a _constructed_ image, built up from some small core.

And when we go bold and use a Core.image? Our cousins Pharoers build a PharoKernel from sources , great work of Pavel and Guillermo (and others maybe).
