Torsten Bergmann uploaded a new version of Kernel to project The Trunk:

==================== Summary ====================

Name: Kernel-tbn.1112
Author: tbn
Time: 30 August 2017, 11:21:46.282311 pm

Ancestors: Kernel-nice.1111

Cleanup pinning protocols

 - isPinned    moves from "system primitive" to "pinning"
 - pin            moves from "system primitive" to "pinning"
 - unpin        moves from "system primitive" to "pinning"
 - setPinned: moves from "system primitive" to "private" (as this should not be part of the public API, people should use pin/unpin methods)

(similar to https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/224 for Pharo)
