Yep, and I think we can do still simpler in other places, too.

For example: How about creating namespaces on the fly? This would mimic 
the behavior of PackageInfo. Such a lightweight Namespace would know 
nothing about itself but its name. If I create a  "Namespace named: 
#Whatever" and ask it for its bindings, it just looks into Smalltalk 
and selects all matching associations. Of course, one could then create 
specialized Namespaces, just like some people create specialized 
PackageInfos, but the system works fine without them.

Also, I thought namespaces should mostly be invisible in Göran's World 
;-) So, the class-template where now some namespace is magically chosen 
could actually just show an unqualified name. Otherwise, we have to 
rewrite every Fine Manual that shows how to create a class ...

Indeed :)
