Yeah, in Squeak's situation it makes even more sense than it makes in Pharo, because we have a lot of features and applications in our image which the community is strongly aligned against breaking until they can be reloaded as external packages, which I think is admirable and responsible, but makes it really hard to drive Morphic into the future.
SimpleMorphic is nice because we can enjoy our past while slicing off a delicious piece of the future (Cuis' Morphic implementation approaches an ideal in my view, though some features are missing.)

Hi Edgar,
The integration of © as a Squeak project is not complete, so think of this as "pre-alpha". But I'm still working on it, and learning a lot about Morphic in the process :)

Yes , I know. A lot of work for having a useful system, but is a giant step having SimpleMorphic running.
Need re-doing all tools windows. Can beg Monticello Browser first ?
My idea is having a no backward compatible system. Run in SimpleMorphic on top of Squeak / Pharo cross.
Lots of learning....
