Hi all,

I have prepared the new version of the KernelImage. The most important
new is the independence of the MinimalMorphic package. That means that
MinimalMorphic package has no overrides now and we are be able to
modify and publish Kernel and basic primitive packages directly from
the MinimalMorphic image!

I have to say that some of the secessary refactorings are very ugly
now but the main goal was to make the MinimalMorphic independent soon
and enable to develop the kernel refactorings in more comfortable way.

The test and some other small packages were removed from the EToys
package. The next step should be improvement and splitting of tests.
The complete image has 20 failures and 3 errors now. The EToys package
has still many overrides.

All packages should include 3.10 patches up to 7091.

Cheers,
