Whatever gave you that idea? There are several packages on SqueakMap
that I use *constantly.* I'm sure I'm not the only one. You seem to
think that if something is not in the image or the update stream it
doesn't exist. This isn't true.

I don't see how putting something in the update stream has any impact
on how well it's tested. People will test things that are important to
them. If they are important they'll get them from SqueakMap just as
readily as from the update stream.
If they're not important, they won't get tested. And that's a good
thing. Let's not waste time testing stuff that nobody uses.
