[Squeakfoundation]Deprecation problems?

[Stephane Ducasse]

Hi michael

The funny aspect of cleaning the kernel was to be sure the system would 
not break.
So normally it should not, you only see the problem of using a stupid 
deprecated mechanism
at the beginning. Now you should get notified and process smoothly.

The most fun clean was to move the current changeset, from Smalltalk to 
ChangeSet class.
I still did not get feedback on this one but this was fun to violate 
temporary encapsulation to be able to pass the current instance around.

I imagine that this is even worse, with all these protocols. By the way 
are you
developing tests for the clean you are doing. We are trying but as I'm 
the only
really active now I got stuck and continue to think about the next 
clean.

I did not take like that at all. My message was that any important 
changes need feedback.
Often we have the right answer/idea but just talking with somebody or 
reading an email
really helps.
