What Avi wanted to say I think, and what I second, is that this 4.0  
project will have *two* major things:

- a minimal Morphic in the image;
- a RestOfMorphic+Etoys loadable package (or packages if a further  
split-up is warranted).

So everything that gets 'thrown away' from MinimalMorphic will be  
immediately added to RestOfMorphic, so that at release time, we will be  
able to build and distribute the Full image lots of people so love (I love  
it for showing off Squeak's capabilities, for example ;-))

I'm just back from a Scouting weekend, so I'm dirty and smelly -> a shower  
is first on the to-do list after catching up with mail, but if anyone  
wants to jump in on this project, please make it known. If people have  
ideas on how to go about coordinating this refactoring effort, I'd be glad  
to hear your ideas. Note that the whole stripping/refactoring project will  
assume that ToolBuilder is around, so it might be an idea to take a peek  
at it  - the list's archive is accessible on  
http://discuss.squeakfoundation.org/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?4:iis:3:200502#b (we  
still need to get our head around ezmlm web archiving, most notably what  
the correct 'entrypoint url' should be - if anyone can help there, please  
shout).
