Is there a location to pull from that would keep my image up to date with
the ReleaseSqueakTrunk version of Squeak?  Or if I update my image, will
parts start dissappearing?

Is the only way to continue to use the ReleaseSqueakTrunk to download
occasional snapshots and move all the code into it?

Or is the trunk system still working off of the release version, but the
SqueakTrunk job strips out the unloadable packages as part of its job?  and
then the ReleaseSqueakTrunk loads them back in?

I guess I could figure this our myself, but just in case anyone else is
wondering, I'll ask.
