Towards 3.91

I hope you didn't take what I did as directed at you or the 3.10 team.  I am 
talking about the process.  I'm not 100% clear on what the process is, but 
if it is having a team collect all the bug fixes and put them all into a 
release that happens once every 6 months, along with trying to make the 
image more modular, etc., I think that it's broken.

Maybe the best thing would be to go with a stable vs. unstable branch type 
thing that most projects have?  Patches go instantly into unstable and maybe 
get removed if bad feedback, etc.

I don't know what is the best here, but having a group of 3 people try to 
pull all this off in a short time doesn't seem to be working so well (i.e. 
burning the people out to the point of leaving Squeak entirely, having tons 
of bugs that have to wait for the next cycle to be fixed in the main-line 
image, etc.).
