I don't have any reasons other than intuition. Just thinking about it -- with Celeste we have a standard window, a domain model and access to SMTP. Which of these would be difficult in 4.4? Nothing comes to mind.

Celeste was always a cool example and it sounds like it wouldn't be much to get it going in 4.4. I hope someone will do it.
Chris,
what are the reasons why you thing that porting wouldn't be a big issue.
Because it relies on libraries which did not change much from 4.1 to 4.4?
Do you remember what it needs as prerequisite?

Hannes,
Do you have Celeste in 4.4? How did you load it?
I am typing this in a 4.1 image (latest update #9957). It has been a long time since I loaded Celeste into this image. For the previous images I had always used SqueakMap, but for this one it seems I used the Monticello Browser to load packages Network-ar.69, Scamper-kfr.12 and Network-Mail Reader-ls.21 from http://www.squeaksource.com/Celeste and http://www.squeaksource.com/Scamper but I might be interpreting the Monticello Browser gui wrong.
There are some small patches that I have written myself, but they are horrible hacks just to deal with very broken emails I have received. They are always spam, so I have not wasted my time doing it right.
