This is a general problem that we'll probably have to deal with 
somehow... sometimes the packages released with Full are still going to 
have bugs, and people should know that if they hit a bug with a given 
package, they might want to try installing a newer version from 
SqueakMap.

How should we educate people about this?  Probably a comment in the 
Welcome Window (starting with 3.8) in the "Full vs Basic" section would 
help.  Also, some pointers on the appropriate swiki pages wouldn't 
hurt.
