My English :-)). Actually it was meant like you explained. For these
users we sometimes leave the old UI for the old function in the old
place if we improve a function of our software.

Those people perform certain tasks in an efficient way and would loose
their efficiency otherwise.
==================

It sounds as though we are pretty much on the same page.  What can we do
to make it easier (within reason) to serve these users, and w/o doing
damage to Squeak?
