    I think Andreas is on something really substantial.

    His SqueakScript image is only the tip of an ice-berge.

    We can expect a greater SqueakScript image real soon now.
    And by greater I mean smaller and bootstrap-able.
    And extensible to a minimal morphic Squeak image.
    Where MVC gets its death sentence.
    As well as something like 99% of the morphs.

    In his own words, 'I am busy like hell'.

    Let's hope that he's been busy chopping up the morphs.
    And when he has a random cycle to spare.
    Then maybe we will hear all these from the horse's mouth.

    Cheers,

    PhiHo.
