Personally, I do not have a good sense of how this should be handled. I expect that we will want to keep the traditional SqueakVM alive and healthy for at least a few years into the future, but I do not know if it is better to merge it with the StackVM, or just let it be separatedly maintained for some period of time.
Eliot needs to comment on this but the intention was always to keep the "classic" Squeak VM working and add the context-to-stack mapping (StackInterpreter) and the JIT (CoInterpreter). So the real work would be to merge the Interpreter sources and promote any necessary changes to [Stack|Co]Interpreter as needed.
