Yes, but the question is whether the makers want to keep it that way, or
constantly burn diskpacks in order to make the end-user experience
(afaict, the main goal) better. Like, being pleasant to build apps with
might just be an unintended side-effect that is scrapped in the next
version because better ideas arise.
I'd welcome such a "ruthless" development cycle for end-user Squeak, but
it might mean that for boring old-style development we'de better stick
with something more controllable :)
