Yes, if you read my latest post in this thread about forks. Isn't it
would be better to make fork become Squeak in that way? ;)
I don't want to repeat myself, but do you think it wouldn't be better
to incorporate module-based system in Squeak release?
Because if not, then obviously Squeak community will be forked as
well. Is there a way to put stop on this? Can we make a system which
will make need of forking unnecessary?
