As I know that you now understand my question better (having read the

"conspiracy" are you talking about?

PS. And as for the flaps that you wonder why I want to keep - many
Squeakers use the flaps in various ways. Some probably use the Tools
flap for example, I have also seen people embed a Workspace in a flap in
order to have it handily available. In short - they are useful for other
things than making eToys.
