[ANN][Squeak-dev Beta Image] Version 107

Hm ... maybe I'm doing something wrong, but each version of Squeak-dev 
that I've tried to load something from Universes in exploded under my 
feet. I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding the intent of Universes, but 
isn't the idea that the packages are tested together before they get 
released? Like, in this version (107) Rio-Kernel explodes on me in its 
initialization (and from the way the code looks it couldn't possibly 
work - it needs a valid RioKernel::Default to initialize 
RioKernel::Default); trying to browse to some class has Whisker explode 
straight into my face (something about MultiSelectHierarchicalListMorph 
not liking something from WhiskerWindow>>selectClass:), etc.

What am I doing wrong? Have these packages been tested? Should I expect 
them to work? My understanding was that the difference between Universes 
and Squeakmap is that Universes only include things that actually play 
together, is this understanding wrong?

Thanks for any insights - I'm really wondering if I'm using this wrongly 
or if I have wrong expectations; I tried about three Squeak-dev versions 
all with similar results and since I see people raving about Squeak-dev 
and Universes I suspect I might be doing something wrong here...

Cheers,
