Not so.
We have FunSqueak , build on top of basic 3.10 and with some glue for old
friends.
I know is not perfect, but could improve if people send feedback ....

> games, speech and 3d are gone, and traits,   monticello and universes have
been added 

Again, FunSqueak have this plus MorphicWrappers, MathMorphs, Seaside and
Pier, and many more...

My plan is put more fun things and all people ask and I manage to have into

If Matthew work is complete, 3.11 don't have traits.
And we move Etoys , Universes, Installer  and more to trusted repositories.

In the long run , you have Squeak 4.0 and could install things at will.
Wish Etoys ? Load it
Wish Seaside or Aida ? Load it
Wish Sound, Speech, etc ? Load it
Don't like or don't need Squeakmap, Universes or Installer ? Don't load it
Don't like or don't need Traits ? Don't load it
Don't like a complete Sunit and all Test we have into 3.10 ? You could win
some space if have handicapped hardware.
The idea is you develop with Damien dev image , do a .mcz and load it onto a
Squeak 4.0, put into a One Click VM from Sophie and presto, have a ready to
run on all major OS

Why 3.10 is bigger ?
Because we have quality control now , 2200+ test I run each any was changed.
And from October not only run, run on Mac , Windows Xp and Simply Linux 6.5.
Is perfect ? NO

I sorry you don't follow the release , we do several swiki pages, have a
list to focus things, etc.

I sorry if you wish more or a different thing.

I on IRC often (FunSqueak also have installed) as edgardec.

Also could send off list mail and I have Skype , so you could see me, a view
of Rosario , Argentina and a couple of cute kitties  doing all kind of mess.
