Such image exist and is MorphicCore of Pavel Krivanek.
We should go towards this , removing packages from the top and reshaping packages if packages as we know today can't be unloades/loaded nicely

The first step was 3.10 as Ralph and me design and build and Damien use for the dev images.
The second step is SqueakLightII , which moves out and lets reload EToys and Nebraska  (and others)
Also brings the idea of the Class repository and the "intelligent load".
This is in beta now and could load old and new code and foreing forks code ins some cases.
Only needs help for polish this ideas and reach the common ground to all Squeaks forks.

And we need "official images" , like Linux have a common kernel


A clarification:
Was not me the Morphic wizard, was the amazing Morphic Team I and II with Dan , Ned, Juan, Jerome.
I only learn a little of they and wish learn a lot of you, Andreas, etc as I learning of all wonderful people in Board today.
