Yes, could be. But this is true for all packages on SqueakMap, not
only the new ones. 
The only real solution would be something like classboxes... (calls
additions can be made private your own package with classboxes).

Ok, we need simple test packages: There is one for the BaseImage Tests
removal. Why wait?

Because this only removes SUnit-tests and some hand-written testing
methods that have been rewritten as SUnit tests. If KCP/MCP provide
tests, they will not go into the Image, but the BaseImage test packe
instead...

I would like to look at them one-by-one. Add one, test it. Then
look at the next one...
