Juan,

Once eToys are removed (and as you suggested perhaps 20-30 hours work), do you 
think it is reasonbly possible to have them loadable again? I am not asking 
you to do the "reload" piece of work, rather asking about your feeling about 
whether reloadability is possible, and what number of hours would you 
estimate to make eToys loadable (if such question even makes sense :) - in 
very rough number, 10, 100, 1000 hours sort of thing). The reason I am 
asking, and perhaps there are others in this camp, is that for my personal 
playing with squeak I mostly play with eToys, and would have to either help 
the reloading effort (which I will, but my abilities cannot guarantee 
much :) ) or switch to squeakland image. In any case, work towards a small 
well-defined "squeak core" (with hopefully loadable packages)  makes sense.

Thanks Milan
