That's true, we don't really need SqueakMap in order to do the removals, so
that's fine.  However, at least one of the removals is a .sar package, and SAR
is not included in the base image.  This isn't a major problem, I guess, since
the removals are still relatively simple... I'll just have to split up the
.sar file into its individual changesets.  (Or, the alternative is to install
SAR in the base image for the time being.  Wait a minute... I'm not sure we
could have a .sar file as an "update" anyway, so nevermind.)

Yes, I'll do these tonight.  You mentioned something about testing them again
yourself, but either way, I'll add the removals tonight.

Right.  We've discussed that it's not currently practical to maintain a Full
image during the alpha stage, for now.  However, we will have a Full image (or
equivalent via a bootstrap) available with the 3.6 final release.
