My approach is the "heavy-weight" approach. Compared to yours and Andreas'
approach, I burn all diskpacks, implement a module/packaging system, include
my own Kernel and metaclasses and introduce new syntax. I have specific
requirements for SecureSqueak, and backwards compatibility isn't one of
them.

For the record, its unlikely that Monticello will work with it. I looked at
Monticello early on and even tried making it work with Namespaces(1) but in
the end I decided it wasn't a good fit; the result would be ugly. Eventually
I'll make something better than Monticello.

For the meanwhile, you can use any old file-based version control system. I
currently use Subversion. I make sure that packages are filed out nicely so
that file-based tools can make nice diffs or patches.

unreliable.
