Yes, ConfigurationOfABC should remain as is. A configuration of a
package is one thing and a managed list of configurations is something
on a next level.

Interesting idea. It seems to me that the only thing which needs to be
done is to remove

instance variable  'project' and class 'LastVersionLoad' from
ConfigurationOfABC and then move ConfigurationOfABC to be a subclass
of MetacelloConfiguration

Yes, indeed. Great work that you have started, Dale. I realise this a
bit late but seemingly not too late :-)
