I don't really have any skin in the game since this is a Unix specific
issue (i.e., the "squeakvm" dependency) that doesn't really apply on Mac
or Windows. That said, I'll add my $.02 by saying that in our Linux
production systems we do exactly what you were proposing, i.e., we have
fallback VMs installed side-by-side with the latest and symlink the
desired VM. That makes it very easy to switch the default *and* allows
you to be explicit where you want to (i.e., by executing from the
linked-to location).
Cheers,
