Well, you implied that everyone except the people interested in  
education should use the dev image because it is "regularly-updated  
and useful-for-developer". That sounds like nobody is interested in  
the official Squeak release. And watching Edgar struggle all alone  
with 3.10 you may even be right. Hence my question - what's the point  
of having a release nobody wants? Why not make the release be as cool  
and inviting and useful as possible?
