Hi Hannes,

I think you did not understand.  Just because you "tested it and it
worked" TODAY does not mean that script will continue working forever.
That's why we MUST NOT put a "Squeak 5.2" tag on it unless we make a
separate Release with a script that uses explicitly-specified
versions.

That's what we have now, I see no versions of "FFI" for 4.5, only
(head), 3.10, and 3.9.  The last two were published by Andreas.

HTH,
  Chris
