Hi Hilaire.
Its taken us quite a while, but one of the things I like to think we've
learned as a community is that the right way to handle big changes is to
start early, but have multiple stages. Andreas mentioned the idea of
making Tweak into a package loadable into squeak-dev. This implies a
whole lot of work, in fact in the past this stage has usually been
something like half the work required for the integration of projects,
so I wouldn't trivialize the proposal. It is good for the community
because it allows people to try it out more easily. I think this is a
better proposal than committing lots of people that have never seen
Tweak into a "Squeak 3.10 is Tweak" plan.
Part of the process of making Tweak loadable would include identifying
its prerequisites explicitly, and giving them, also, proper review and
usage, a stage that would probably be at best rushed in an "all at once"
plan.
