I don't know what the outcome of this discussion will be. It has the 
potential to annoy many.
Redoing most of the patches of 3.9 and 3.10 seems to be a huge amount of 
work.
So there need to be a consensus that the result is worth the efforts.
Are Traits the only show stopper for a unification of Squeak distributions?
If not, what else has to be done?
And last but not least: isn't the unification a contradiction to the 
minimal image target?
