Any objection to including Gofer in a near-future Squeak?
Do you mean including Gofer or Metacello? (I.e., is the question really just about Gofer or is it in the context of supporting Metacello?)
When you have a tool for bootstrapping things easily into a basic image, you don't need to have them loaded.
Metacello and Gofer can have bootstrapping scripts added to InstallerScripts, so that
Installer install: 'Gofer'. Installer install: 'Metacello'.
Works in Squeak and Pharo etc.
Installer is designed so that it can be your only dependency so you don't need to have everything and the kitchen sink loaded. It doesn't even need Monticello, since it knows how to install source from inside a mcz.
