Hmm, +1, even better. Tests should have a fast track into the image. Guides, image stewards, what do you say ? Could [TEST]'s get added to the update stream on a weekly basis ?
We want to start breaking Squeak into lots of packages. SUnit 3.1 should be one of those. And you can't add stuff to the base-image that depends on a specific package.
So I vote for having all base-image tests in a dedicated package. This package could have it's own update-stream.
(For the 3.5 release we could tink about a scheme where we have a "base image" (as much removed as possible) and a "release image" (An image with most of the functionality as today, but build from installing packages into the base image).
With such a scheme we could start taking Squeak apart even without having to wait for SqueakMap supporting dependencies and virtual packages (aka Distributions).
