Should be decide to do this there are a couple of options to do it:
- a Monticello branch (
 <hyphenated-package-name>.<dotted.branch.tag>-<initials>.<count>.mcz)
- a new package for Pharo 1.2 eg. Grease-Pharo12-Core
- move Grease-Pharo-Core to 1.2 and have some class extensions in
Grease-Pharo11-Core like Grease-Pharo10-Core

Does anybody have an preferences? Does Metacello support MC branches?

Cheers
