Jesus guys. Hannes - you must be aware of the fact that we are aiming
for a kernel image below 300kb in size. Yes, the longterm goal for
Squeak is to have a very, *very* small kernel image and then load
everything as packages on top.

Of course, we can preloaded images for easy download, but that is
another issue.

Now - *of course* SUnit should be in a package. As should *every other
darn piece of the image*. And *of course* all the tests should be in
packages no matter what they are for. Even SM itself is a package *as it
should be*.

That does of course NOT mean that they shouldn't be loaded when Joe
Newbie browses his favourite Squeak distro. I mean hey - the kernel will
not even have UI capabilities so it is pretty obvious that we need to
load a whole truckload of packages on top of the kernel until it even
resembles an environment.

regards, Göran

PS. I didn't think it would be this hard to get people to start thinking
in terms of packages instead of the image...
