as I see it, my problem with *your* proposal is that we need to dump 
eToys in order to gain a cleaned-up Morphic.

to me "code cleanup" does not mean that any functionality is lost. only 
that the code is cleaned up. maybe I am too simple-minded :)

so your proposal is to kill etoys, which currently work just fine and is 
used by many people, for the only reason that it does not seem to be 
easy to clean it up. we had "if it's not broken, don't fix it", now it 
seems we have "if it's not broken but ugly, then just kill it".

this is utter nonsense. I just don't understand where we are going here. 
   why destroy Squeak ?
