Hmmm, not really. But you can easily reinstall the packages being
removed.

Well, I assume you have been following the plans for Squeak - like for
example the 3.6 plan since you are effectively working in the *alpha*
version of 3.6. Then this can not come as a surprise to you. Why don't
you just load the packages back that you need?
Doug is already asking for someone to maintain a load script that does
this in one swoop.
But again - you are sitting in 3.6 alpha. We need to do this. We have
explained in detail what we are doing and why.
