Could you put changes 7142 and forward back on
ftp.squeak.org/updates? I am making a changeset that reverts the
== -> = change, so I can review it and safely re-apply it. But I
need the original update script to see which packages were
changed. You can have them at ftp.squeak.org/updates, and not
put them in updates.list if you want them to be strictly
experimental.

So far, I have 14 changesets that do the same thing as 7142, I
just need to make the reverse 14 change sets and run them
through diff to review. I will change the timestamps after I
review them.

7158 is a good release and is not worth abandoning. Only one bad
patch was put in it, and it can be reviewed and fixed if the
update-stream log is there to record the damage. I am about 40 %
through fixing the patch, and I would like to finish, but I need
the real 7142.cs, not the new one
