Unimplemented Messages?

Hello,
I'm playing around 3.6b-5331 (updated from 3.6a-5325). The first
thing I noticed is there are quite a few unimplemented messages. If
you call 'Smalltalk browseAllUnimplementedCalls', there are 161
unimplemented calls. It looks like most of them have explaination:
some are primitives, which is ok, but some are in removed packages,
which isn't great. But isn't it be nice if there are a lot of few
such methods.
There are a few more unimplemented call cases that can't be check
with the unimplemented check mechanism. FileList>>openMorphFromFile
should is 'called' from FileList>>fullFileListMenu:shifted: but is not
there anymore. What happened to #openMorphFromFile? (I admit that I
don't follow all of the email traffic...)
And, The deprecated method notice says 'Use
SystemNavigation>>browseUnimplementedCalls'. However, how can I use
this exactly? This is an instance method of SystemNavigation, and I
saw some discussion about adding #default instance creation method to
the class side, but there is no such method. And since
#systemNavigation is not implemented in SystemNavigation itself,
SystemNavigation new browseUnimplementedCalls
or such fails. Probably, we should implement #systemNavigation in
SystemNavigation?
