In this case, most likely, a server reboot triggered some Image-Filesystem sync protocol and hence mails were sent again for old versions. This happens quite rarely. It has happened in the past. Even though, I would flag this behaviour as a bug.

Are you sure?  This is one of the reports:

[squeak-dev] The Inbox: Kernel-eem.1486.mcz

But IIRC I never submitted Kernel-eem.1486.mcz to Inbox.  I sent it straight to trunk.  And sure enough it’s in Inbox.  Maybe I submitted to inbox by mistake but I don’t think so.

Apart from the annoying noise (I already have to delete many commit messages a day only to see the ones i'm interested in), I have to ask why we are copying packages to Inbox. Doesn't this defeat the purpose?  My understanding is that Inbox is a place for non-core developers to submit proposed changes, and for core-developers to submit proposed code that needs review.  Duplicating the packages that are already in trunk simply drowns out those submissions.  How are we supposed to recognise suggested submissions if they're lost within the tide of trunk submissions?
