I had no point.  There are more people involved in Squeak now, and
there is more going on, and so things are just more complicated now.


Distributions would help with this problem.  I did a distribution for
Squeak 3.7 [1], and I think the basic techniques would work fine for a
3.8-based distribution.  A distributions approach would mean that the
primary development groups only need to *generally* cooperate;
distribution maintainers would then do all the little details needed
to make all this different software coexist.
