I think we really need something better than SqueakMap and better than
Universes. They are both really good but they both lack some important
functionalities.

To answer your question Ken, I'm working with what suit my needs best.
I'm working with Universes because I can manage dependencies and I can
do that with Smalltalk code or with a Squeak interface.
