Hi Jecel,
Removing eToys implies deleting "eToys awareness" in lots of methods that would not be deleted. Even several instance variables as in MorphExtension. I don't know how to offer the user the option for removing it, let alone keep that option properly maintained in future Squeak versions.
Cheers, Juan Vuletich

- A functional issue - The ideal Squeak would have Etoys Morphic in
the image and these could be unloaded by the experienced programmer who wants to "Run light without overbyte" whereas the neophyte can enjoy them out of the box
This is a plan that is practical and which I fully support: if we can unload eToys but not load it back, then let's just include eToys in the full image that we distribute and allow everyone the one way option of removing it. I don't mind at all eliminating the Flash logo, the welcome windows and other stuff every time I begin working with a newly downloaded image. The fact that I can't get any of these easily back if I want has never been a problem since I could just start over from a clean image.
Sure, a reloadable eToys would be even better but I doubt it will happen.
