Hi,

I am currently cleaning a little the baseline and packages to remove
everything related to Pharo < 4. One fix is already integrated. 3 other
are waiting review and when they will be integrated I'll check if I can
further clean it. (I think I already see one or two things I can clean
but I don't want to do too many PR that will end up in conflict)

As you can see here for example:

https://github.com/SeasideSt/Seaside/pull/1056/files

It reduce quite a lot the complexity of some parts.

Another example: https://github.com/SeasideSt/Seaside/pull/1054/files
