Hmm, the original posting hasn't reached me yet, but anyway.

Sure. IMHO, go for it. 3.3a is *alpha* so hey, fix it - that's what
alpha is for... :-)

Nope, I don't think it would and yes, I care for Modules - but see no
problem with improving it! And since it is alpha mistakes are ok - we
can always fix it while we go forward.

We all know development on Modules stopped before it was really
userfriendly (and no shame on Henrik, he did a lot of work but there was
too little support from the rest of us - and that is noones fault) but
it's still IMHO pretty solid code - it just need to get finished! :-)

There was a flurry of activity with Andreas carrying the flag but lately
it got very silent. Personally I try to spend my time on SqueakMap for
3.2 and when that is "done" in some sense I intend to start looking at
3.3 more closely - I believe there are a whole bunch of .cs floating
around for Modules that need to get integrated.
