Heh. Well, two *facts* here for everyone who is concerned about this move:

- An overwhelming majority of the community loved the original
research, and lots of people were drooling over the possibilities this
would open (like tackling the Collections, Streams, Morphic
hierarchies for starters ;-)).

- The update updates only a couple of core packages (Kernel, System,
Tools) and one non-core package (Monticello). Which means that all the
other stuff, including two GUI frameworks, in the image, is not
affected by Traits. Therefore I'd be extremely surprised if Tweak
would somehow have major trouble living in this image (or any other
tool).

Think, Check, Google, ReadTheMailArchives before you talk, people...

There are some community members silently pitting awful amounts of
time into 3.9a, and shouting "Fire" where there isn't even a faintest
glow is no way to reward them for their efforts.
