Hi Danil,
How are the results of your check? Hardly wait good news :)
And José's question should be answered too: when a patch will be ready,
tested and proven, who will integrate it into mainstream Squeak?
Well, let we provide a patch first, put it into Mantis at
http://bugs.squeak.org, then make a broader test on our dev images, then
on Damien's squeak-dev ones and if all went well, I think a community
will be persuaded enough to accept the patch into a mainstream Squeak.
