Two things.

Installer is a package which could be or not in image.
With Universes , any could load your last version any time.

If Ralph agree, I plan unload all packages used for the building of the
release and not really necessary for the base image..

About gamma, is a word we use in Squeak before.

When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in a rather a scornful tone, "it
means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less.

"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean different
things."

"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master -- that's
all."
