Well, I am not sure but BC isn't dead (or is it?) - it's just "idling" a
bit. :-)
It will most surely get adopted I think - but there is a grand plan for
this, ask Tim Rowledge or read on:
http://swiki.squeakfoundation.org/squeakfoundation/57

Whisker is live and well I hope, since it's Doug's creation I hardly
think it has been lost.

BUT... I still agree with you Diego that the current process for getting
stuff into Squeak is not working "that good".
We should (and are trying I think) fix this and one step in the right
direction is helping out in 3.3alpha land with Modules. Modules is a
very important "enabler" here.

When we have Modules working we should probably take a good look at the
current Harvesting process and move it into the Modules world.
