If by "the next version of things" you are referring to the impending
Croquet, then I won't have to worry about it for a while. None of the
machines that I have will run it in any reasonable fashion (at least
based on the preliminary stuff that was available). If you are
referring to the underlying Squeak image for Croquet, and significant
rewrites of things that might be usable without the 3D interface, then
I have to wonder how that image will ever get reconciled with the
current Squeak development stream, or if it implicit that they will be
different.
Some of this might be addressed by the PDF doc for Croquet, it's been a
while since I read it. Just wondering out loud (well, if you use
text-to-speech) ...
Cheers
