Well, it's not quite "no ceremony," we're aiming for "no more ceremony than
necessary." Here's the description of the way it's supposed to work now:

The development of Squeak 3.11 basically ground to halt because of
excessive procedure, and this new model was an attempt to resuscitate it.
It worked!
It's possible that we have swung too far in the other direction, but I
haven't seen anything that makes me think so. Are there specific problems
you want to solve, or is it more of a general unease at the
loosey-goosey-free-for-all?
