First - many thanks to Göran, Doug, Ned, Daniel, Craig, Tim for putting 
the time and effort into all of this.  Since no one is obviously getting 
rich from this, it's clearly a labor of love and it shows.

As far as the name of the new group, I suggest "The Cheese" or even "The 
Cheeses"

This means that the current ongoing move into "package land" will be done on two fronts - from the bottom and up led by Dan and from the top down by... the community! :-)

Does this mean we're going to spin things like the MPEGLib back out into 
DLLs/SOs/plugins?  I really like the idea of shipping a tiny kernel and 
various DLLs as required.  While I know we've run into problems with 
versioning and such on kernel DLLs, I think we could tackle this problem 
and still end up with a nicely modular kernel to go along with our 
nicely modular (in the generic sense of the word) image.  If this is 
true, has anyone considered a mechanism for obtaining kernel modules via 
SqueakMap?  I'd be willing to contribute if this is deemed a good idea.
