The classes were shuffled to other packages.  I would think that it would be
a good thing to be able to delete a package so that the structure can be
properly organized and to make it obvious what to load.  Is there a way to
rename packages say to add Deprecated-Package?

Monticello doesn't provide an easy way to delete versions, for the  
simple reason that, well, it's a version control system. It's raison  
d'être is to preserve old versions.

Ron, what's so bad about these versions that you want to erase them  
from history? Their presence on SqueakSource doesn't imply that  
people should use them - that would be SqueakMap - and they may be of  
use in future archeological efforts. Heck, they might be of use in  
future coding efforts, if you find yourself doing just the right  
merging.

I'd caution you against deleting the history of your code base  
without a very good reason. (Which you may indeed have, for all I know.)
