	Sure! :)

	Certainly. Flow 2a and the old Stream hierarchy co-exist; people will
be able to use both. I'll actually be releasing two versions
concurrently: Flow 2a1, which installs into Squeak 3.2f images, and Flow
2a2, which installs into Squeak 3.3a (current) images.

	I agree, and I hope that's what happens.

	Wow, neat!
