  Why?  Because it is a good platform to experiment what a new system
should be like, as I wrote in the same message.  In that sense, it is
a viable platform, and of course for those who are building commercial
software and using Squeak in industry already (like ourselves for
OLPC), it does not alway make sense just jump to a new unproven
system.   Even after the new system gets real, why shouldn't anyone
bother with Squeak?
