Hi Danil,

How are the results of your check? Hardly wait good news :)

And José's question should be answered too: when a patch will be ready, 
tested and proven, who will integrate it into mainstream Squeak?

Well, let we provide a patch first, put it into Mantis at 
http://bugs.squeak.org, then make a broader test on our dev images, then 
  on Damien's squeak-dev ones and if all went well, I think a community 
will be persuaded enough to accept the patch into a mainstream Squeak.
