The package loader shown all auto-installable packages, 
version-information is not relavant any more. It was at some point,
but back when 3.5 was released, all packages continued to work but it 
took ages for the maintainers to update the version
infos.  And since then, version infos are in a sorry state for most 
packages...

So I think we need something different: not "this works with 3.2, 
3.4.... but "this does not work starting with version 3.7".

We have similar problems with packages that continue to exist, but in 
new, incompatible versions. With Package releases,
there is the beginning of a solution for that. We need refactor the 
existing stuff to use this (e.g. not have
"RB for 3.2" und "RB" as top-level packages).

Another thing: I like is the idea to have a debian like "stable" 
"testing" "unstable" branch... it would be nice to have SqueakMap
support for that.
