Who is Squeak for? What are the guiding principles for decisions?

There's been a lot of discussion about this lately -- as always. So I 
thought some folks might (or might not!) be interested in the philosophy 
that Squeak is defined not by technical nor procedural means, but as a 
social phenomenon among the people who happen to consider themselves 
Squeakers (or Smalltalkers).

Many years ago, Kent Pitman made this argument about Lisp, and I think 
he said it well:  http://www.nhplace.com/kent/PS/Lambda.html
