Release Meta-problems (repository woes)

Hi Jerome,

We have implemented deleting packages quite some time ago as this was  
requested by the 3.9 release team.
Apparently, these changes have never been deployed on the  
SqueakFoundation SqueakSource server (however, they are deployed on  
squeaksource.com, where this change is also available).

So, the question probably is, who is reponsible for this server and  
will do the upgrade?

Cheers,
Adrian
