There is a server adapter for WebClient [1]. We actually do fix Squeak
issues where reported and possible [2]. However as Pharo and Squeak
diverge more it becomes harder to support both with the same code
base. We're already running into troubles supporting multiple Pharo
versions. In the long run Squeak versions for the corresponding Pharo
implementations will probably have to be created.
