I'm not going to holler, but I would like to suggest that the removal of methods just because they are not used *in the base image* be given a low priority - there is other Squeak code out there that may use the method(s) in question. While, in this case, the removal would have been easy to repair by those affected, the gain for Squeak in general would be small. In cases where the gain might be larger (more methods or entire classes, e.g.), I hope that we can remind ourselves that this make someone else's life a bit more difficult.

Cheers,
