That sounds like a good idea to me.

One slight variation we might try is to keep the update stream in  
place for released versions of Squeak. This would give us the best of  
both worlds: a greatly reduced burden for harvesters/integrators,  
while still giving Squeak users a good experience. We had no problems  
in the past with the attitude that people should be prepared for some  
breakage and inconvenience if they use alpha releases. On the other  
hand, preparing tweaks against a stable release for the update steam  
should be relatively easy - there would much fewer of them, and  
they'd be fairly simple in most cases.
