Probably a good idea.  I will eventually get the
source.squeakfoundation.org SS server working properly with the diffing,
hopefully within the next week or two as I have time.  We will still
want this fairly soon, as the main slowdown with loading complete .mcz
packages is not so much bandwidth, but the time it takes to load into
the image.

But I agree that we should move forward, so let's go with your plan, and
as soon as the SS server is fixed, we can change the Monticello package
back again so that it loads .mcd files instead.

With #2 you could try adding the test for changes in 6679 that Bert
mentioned.  With #1, also try Bert's other suggestion, but if that takes
too much effort, we could fix that a bit later.

Then we could announce 3.9a-6680 as ready for people to try, with the
caveat that we will be adding .mcd-loading capability relatively soon
which should speed things up for people.

I notice that you've been doing a lot of harvesting of stuff into the
3.9a packages, which is great to see... people will want to try this
stuff.
