Well it appears to me that changing *the language* in the alpha stream
*and then changing it back* is much more hassle than we want. So we
should include in the stream only stuff that we're quite sure is
permanent. And I don't know of any way to gain that confidence that's
better than SqueakMap. I don't see how forks/compatibility issues are
any different between language changes and extreme framework changes...
