Well, I don't *think* of it as SqueakMap but the comparison is somewhat 
appropriate. The main reason why I don't think of it as SM is that SM 
wants to be "all packages ever created for Squeak" but what we need is 
"all packages that we've actually tested to work in this image". And of 
course there are some other differences (like community ownership 
instead of individual ownership of the catalog elements) but other than 
that I agree; it would probably be quite similar to SM in what it does.
