Hi andreas
This is clear that MC could be better to work on bootstrapping and
changing a living system. This is not what we would dream about, and
we would prefer something that has the property of MC + support
change on live objects. This is why for 3.9 we have been forced to
use MC as slow changesets. Since we cannot take a mini-image and load
the latest versions (but we should load all the intermediate state).
Ideally we would like to have a nano kernel and a load script but
this is the future.
Now I think that MC is a step forward and that it should improve. I
can also tell you that
postscript in cs are also a problem to analyze code and build tools.
This is the question between a declarative code
representation and not. We got already these discussions in the past.
