This is a good question. What is the process of managing compatibility between Smalltalk implementations? How much compatibility is there today? (GUI frameworks excluded) Do we just assume that good changes will get adopted or should we actively try to stay in sync?

Hi!
Just noting that noone seems to mention the obvious problem:
Compatibility with other SmalltalksI sure argued for my prefix-separator-::-thingy back in the namespace discussions - but I judged that as a very small modification that could *possibly* be worth it. Although we get along kinda fine without it, so today I might hesitate :)
Or have we (since Traits) thrown away the need for compatibility with other Smalltalks (and older Squeaks)? This is not sarcasm - it would be a reasonable choice to make.
