Yes. I agree to 100%. Which is why I have generally named "my" VMs in sync with the image releases to make it reasonably understandable for people that for running a 3.10 image they should consider a 3.10 VM.
The Unix VM follows the same principle. The major and minor version numbers track those of the image from which the interpreter sources are generated. The patch number starts at 0 and increases by 1 each time a major set of changes are applied. The configure script, the configure.ac file and the output from 'squeak -version' identify the precise version (to the nearest update number) of the image used to generate the VM.
The latest SVN should be good, except that it is still missing some Solaris patches that I have in my pending commit queue. AFAIK it compiles out of the box on FreeBSD.
Just curious: why did you name it 'cobalt'?
