Maybe we should consider expanding out to a 'quadrad' (what is congruent
with triad, but has four?) of images, and make a Cadillac something like
http://freshmeat.net/projects/folk. Someone who is better at bad squeak
puns than I could come up with a catchy name for it, I'd just call it the
'demo image'. Its main characteristic would be that it has everything from
SqueakMap with a Beta or higher rank.
When that image (in bzip2 form) hits maybe 100MB download, maybe switch to
only stuff with "Stable" or higher.
