Yes, but please remember that we are in alpha still. All things in due
time for 3.6.
The ultimate distribution of Squeak IMHO would be with a kernel image
and a full locally cached SM. Since SM will include "load scripts" the
Basic image and the Full image can then easily be built by a click of a
button. No need to download them all three.

IMHO this is the simplest and best delivery method - the Minimal image +
SM. Build the other images from that using SM.
