BTW you did not answer this question: now that Pharo has taken the non-backward compatibility road, why is the question again arising for Squeak ?
Simply because: " Every surgeon knows, that in order to force the bones to accrete correctly, you have to break them again. "
So, each time i thinking about potential changes in Squeak to improve it, guess what? It doesn't makes sense to do that w/o cardinal changes in some classes/protocols. Maybe it is my personal style/perception, who knows, maybe i'm too focused on cleaning stuff. But it will be last day of my life as programmer, if i start using #isKindOf:orOf: or similar stuff. Or start using stuff which using #isKindOf:orOf: .
people have choice, now.
