Any attempt at adding namespaces to Squeak should be a fork until such times 
as it has demonstrated good and has earned its reputation amongst examiners 
from the main community. It has to demonstrate a sound and solid system that 
is better than the existing Squeak, this will take time and several 
versions.

In my opinion namespaces and modules/packages are a necessary compication 
for proper growth of Squeak, the versioning problems are a sign that Squeak 
is growing up (having its teen age) and as a result needs a higher order of 
rational to mature such as namespaces and modularity.

Once (if) namespaces/modules are in place everyone will wonder what the fuss 
was all about and will be much happier.

My only worries are the syntax, it should be a good one, otherwise people 
will not want to use it.

Just my $0.02 worth.
