The classes were shuffled to other packages. I would think that it would be a good thing to be able to delete a package so that the structure can be properly organized and to make it obvious what to load. Is there a way to rename packages say to add Deprecated-Package?

Monticello doesn't provide an easy way to delete versions, for the simple reason that, well, it's a version control system. It's raison d'être is to preserve old versions.
Ron, what's so bad about these versions that you want to erase them from history? Their presence on SqueakSource doesn't imply that people should use them - that would be SqueakMap - and they may be of use in future archeological efforts. Heck, they might be of use in future coding efforts, if you find yourself doing just the right merging.
I'd caution you against deleting the history of your code base without a very good reason. (Which you may indeed have, for all I know.)
