My interest in squeak is as a foundational part of the Open Slate Project. My preference is to have a useful and engaging envirnment available right after installation. A leaner image has merits for experienced squeakers, but forcing new users to learn how to find and install packages in order to do anything will hinder it's success. I must confess to being a bit overwhelmed at first by the richness of squeak.
