Stephane,
the last thing Andreas said regarding 3.9 with Traits in relation to
Tweak was, that because of a series of errors he ran into caused by the
class/metaclass changes by Traits and given the pain he experienced
while porting Tweak to 3.8 he didn't want to investigate these errors
further, and he didn't even mention making another port of Tweak to 3.9.
Moreover he gave an interesting and *skeptical or cautious* overview
about what Traits is and what it is not in his opinion.

You responded to this post but as usual you ignored its implications. In
fact you keep on ignoring Andreas' complaints about what you stuff into
the update stream since a long time. Moreover, you try to turn down
every skeptical opinion about Traits. At least you ignore it.
But, you could proof me wrong, here and now, and I will withdraw my
assertion that you behave ignorantly. Just agree to the idea that Squeak
makes from now on a minimalistic release Squeak-Core, with Squeak-Traits
and Squeak-Tweak (and perhaps others) on top of it.
Regards,
Martin
