Sure, I've always pictured things going that way - the expansion of
SEASIDE is the Squeak Enterprise Aubergines Server Integrated Development
Environment, and to me that implies exactly what you're describing: a
squeak image loaded with enterprise tools and tweaked for web development.

I do wonder if there's any chance of convincing shops to use Seaside that
aren't already Smalltalk friendly, however... seems somewhat unlikely.
