There is a lot of existing Squeak content.  There are 200 packages in
the 3.7 stable package universe.  It takes hours just to *read* this
list.  Imagine how long it would take to reproduce it all.

In fact, this would be a good threshold to keep in mind before
starting over: how long will it take to get back to zero?  Until you
are back to zero, many people will want to continue with the current
system.
