Yes he did, and we definitely should follow Levente's guidance here. That
said, there is no reason that we should not use new and experimental things
on squeak.org, as long as the changes are done in a controlled manner under
Levente's guidance. I think that Chris C has done exactly the right thing
here by announcing his planned changes in advance, and checking for problems
before actually making the change. Granted, there have been some cases where
we have all been careless in these matters, but I think that this proposed
change is being handled in the right way :-)
