It makes me nervous.  If it really is "hard work", then why not save it for
3.11?  It does not sound as valuable as the wonderful work you are doing on
processing patches and bug reports and thus making Squeak more robust.  I
suspect many people would rather see core Squeak be more robust, than see
core Squeak have a better updates mechanism.
