I went through Squeak's Inbox today and cleared out some of my own old stuff and reviewed some of the contributions from others. I encourage other core developers to make a similar final pass on the Inbox.
I reviewed all existing package versions in the Inbox, and wrote a summary about them, but it's not complete yet. Hopefully I'll be able to finish it today.
Bottom line: Unless I've overlooked some final crucial fix, I don't intend to integrate any of the remaining Inbox items into 4.2. Everything I looked at were "enhancements" which can be lobbied-for and integrated into 4.3.
I see your point about strictly freezing the features, but I think we shouldn't postpone the inclusion/rejection of existing Inbox contributions just because (we) core developers didn't have time to review/discuss them so far.
4.2 will not be a perfect release, but our development does not stop. My focus at this time is on getting it out the door so we will have a new baseline and can start talking about things in the context of "4.3".
That's right, but I think we will have enough time till the new VMs are ready, so we shouldn't rush either.
