Hi Brad,

I agree with you on this point - the version on SqueakMap isn't ready 
to be a standard package.

However, the core of OB is actually pretty stable. It's the more 
advance features that are still shaky. Since people are interested in 
pushing OB into broader use, I'm going to strip that stuff out and 
produce a version that's considerably simpler and more stable.

I think a combination of simplicity, good automated test coverage and 
broad testing by the community should be enough to ensure that OB is 
solid before we retire the current implementation. Note also that this 
would be done in the alpha phase, when a little instability is 
acceptable.
