Well, force the issue. The PowersThatBe[tm] as far as the  
core/minimal/full image thing is concerned, are the Guides. If they  
declare that for the coming version x.y, the Guides feel themselves only  
responsible for:
- core image;
- building minimal/full from packages;
then you can choose to fork your thing or play ball by packaging your  
stuff and maybe some stuff your stuff needs (I'd gladly help packaging  
wxSqueak, Seaside, because I depend on it; others will have other itches  
to scratch).

It's a risk. But it's a risk worth taking, because I feel that a) the  
concensus that this must be done, sooner or later, is there, and b) the  
PowersThatBe have enough weight in the community that people will  
cooperate, rather than fork.
