I think overrides (a la VW, but they could be done even better)

+1.  I was the guilty party that f**ed up the implementation of the VW ones (but then it was my idea also).  See http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2010-January/142760.html for a better approach to implementation.  Does it make sense to you?
 
could solve these entanglement problems much easier
(after the initial investment), directly attacking modularity and helping address other issues in this area:
loading/unloading, minimal image, versioning.
