I'm not sure. My gut feeling is that the entire notion of "changes" is 
depending on context. What changes mean in Etoys (scripts represented by 
S-expressions) is different from what changes mean in Smalltalk hacking 
and is different what changes could mean in Wonderland scripting.  As 
such I'd say that the notion of changes is something that one needs to 
deal with at a different level.

 From a practical perspective however I'd say that having one change set 
per project (and the ability to switch between them when changing 
projects) is quite handy. But if someone were to say let's nuke change 
sets in projects and require people to switch them manually in the 
change sorter, I would probably be fine with that, too.
