Well, I wouldn't worry about it much.  We could write them, but I think best to let sleeping dogs lie.  This is really a historical investigation, and I think they'd be happy to see it revived (oops, did I say that ;-).  I think Squeak sets an upper limit on their concern because it is Apple Smalltalk *plus* cross-platform *plus* large address space *plus* color *plus* music, *plus*..., and it was given out 5 years ago.
