But what is your point, exactly? That Tweak is to blame for changes in
3.9 that render 3.9 incompatible with 3.8 to such an extent that Tweak
doesn't work out of the box? Contrary to which other 3.8 based
environments (iSqueak, Croquet, TinLizzie) run Tweak just fine.
And for the records, the reason why Morphic was initially available in
Squeak right beside MVC was because the people who worked on it (SqC)
had control over BOTH. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about
Tweak and 3.9 so unless your point is that you're screwed when you don't
have control over parts that you depend on (to which I wholeheartedly
agree), then I don't get the point you're trying to make.
Cheers,
