No, but writing something with no plan for getting it used might be a good way to start one. Too many people have written too much fine code, only to see it lost because people cannot agree on a direction for Squeak. I am happy to make some small changes and share them here, or do a more elaborate job for wider consumption. Writing something highly involved only to watch it fall into the NIMBY black hole? No, thanks.

Tim,
Ok, then what do we do? Distribute it as a group development, or try for inclusion in the mainstream?
Well the first thing is to Just DoIt. If it existed and was well written and passed sensible tests then I don't think it would be too difficult to persuade whoever is/was the release team to incorporate it.
Worrying about how to handle something that doesn't exits yet is a sure recipe for ulcers.
