This is the long term plan and has been since OOPSLA 2002. But it isn't

This is also the obvious reason for not accepting any more additions
into the image unless they are bugfixes or enhancements that doesn't
really add stuff.

New tools, new classlibraries, applications etc should be packages on
SqueakMap.
