Please don't. that is far more work than necessary.

I did a full review of the 172 changed methods and fixed up the
ones that need fixing. The fixes applied cleanly to the 7158
image that was previously available at ftp.squeak.org. The fixes
are in bug report 2788, file 7142-fix.sar. It contains one .cs
for each package modified

Well, not for the remainder of 3.10, I suppose. But for 3.11,
maybe. There is currently no way to have the flexibility and
debuggability of the update stream and have the modularity of
packages. I believe this could be possible with DeltaStreams,
since DeltaStreams, unlike change-sets, can be verified for
conflicts.
