I never said SquekMap is obsolete or you don't could use it.

The question is :

People want a smaller image (less packages in base) as we have now ?
And this smaller image could load any Squeak code from past and future ?

If the answer is not,  people should download ready to use images , like the
excellent of Damien for 3.10.
Or 3.8.2 full if this suits his needs.

If the answer is yes, people should encourage guys trying to reach this.
Meaning some sacrifices are needed.

Today you could use SqueakMap , Universes , Installer and Monticello as ways
to load code into 3.10.

I hope in futures Squeak you don't have any (image could don't have this 4
packages) .

And still you should have a way to load again one or all this plus any you
wish.

In the distant future, Squeak become Spoon, all you need is type "I want
mp3" for cite some people request recently and   not more into 3.10.

And this NeXtqueak could intellingent load any needed code.

Like my vision ?
