I just found some interresting, like "alternate syntax" in browser, but 
in fact didn't see anyone using it actively.

I believe there are things dependent in some level (must-have, 
better-to-have) and there are things independent, those if removed no 
dependencies are broken.
For example I found removing _Sound_ category as quite okay, but 
throwing an object to trash-bin makes DNU because trash-bin wants to 
play a sound. So sound is better-to-have thing, but for example _Speech_ 
is purely package-like. If you don't use it, no other components does 
so. It can be packaged and I'm happy it is already on SqueakMap.
For me, it comes to conclusion that one vital thing in "image stripper" 
could be (drumroll please :) - discardAlreadyPackaged.

Just some thoughts... :)
