When resource is scare, the smarter come out ;)

How is big etoys?
And How is deeply integrated in Squeak?

If Etoy is not so big (as I remembered), we can simply start to "cut its
wires" from Morphic and let it aging around.
We can start creating a mechanism to deprecate some methods.
By the way the deprecation engine seems to me very important to do.

We can do this thing with less then 8 hours of work in my own opinion,
I suggest to rethink our apprach and to adopt a "Panta Rei" (verything
changes - the philosophy of Heraclitus).
We should start to plan the new Squeak version WITHOUT throwing away the bad
things.

We can start taking bad thing alone in a room, putting heavy doors in it,
and then
prohibing them to exit :)

The other developers will start stopping using EToy in a smooth way.

After a while we can think how to dismiss them... or not.

In my own opinion frequently Squeak home change, so the problem will solve
smootly without so much pain.
Let's discuss on this approach.
