<div>That would really be a shame. As you stated, SM is a nice index to a vast wealth of Squeak code and projects over the years, many of which are not in a Universe today (and probably never will be). It would be a shame to loose visibility to those projects. SM also has a nice cache of some (most? all?) of those packages, so as the original storage places for those packages rot or dissappear, we can still benefit from them.

<div>If everyone started saving all work in Monticello and saved it to SqueakSource - or some other authoritative place - AND there were motivated people to convert all the old (usually very interesting and sometimes useful) code from SM into Montecello, then there might be some justification to removing SM. I just don't see that happening.
