Of course, *that* would itself be a fork. Squeak has always been about
experimentation and Smalltalk-80 compatibility was more of a
historical artifact than a design goal.

I'd rather have a great Smalltalk-08 (and soon -09) than something
that matches up with the Blue Book description of Smalltalk-80. The
reason I'm using Pharo now is that it looks like the best near term
'core' Smalltalk.
