  Note, however, that the 3.8 release
*does* contain bunch of changes from former Squeakland image.  (Thanks
to Michael.)

  It is just a slow process and, the possible "3.8.1" is a good time
to merge some changes between them.

  I'm not sure about the issue you described.

  We do.

  We don't ignore it.

  I'm not sure about this.  If we consider these different
"distributions" or some sort, it is not as bad as that.

  I don't oppose to communicate and move the patches around images.
But how often is a bit different question.
