In the sense of step towards a smaller image.

On the 20th May Igor Stasenko started a thread
<citation>
        Towards clean unloading Morphic (an idea)

i just thought, that in order to get down to a minimal kernel image,
it would be nice to move all Morphic globals into a shared pool.

Things like, World, ActiveWorld
could be placed into a MorphicPool class.
</citation>
...

Eliot Miranda considered the idea to be good.


In addition I think it would be good to split the Morphic package.

It is quite big and it is often changed. The version number is
currently over 400. This is high compared to over packages.


But I assume Andreas and Juan have some more precise ideas how they
want to proceed.
