When you have a tool for bootstrapping things easily into a basic
image, you don't need to have them loaded.
Metacello and Gofer can have bootstrapping scripts added to
InstallerScripts, so that
Installer install: 'Gofer'.
Installer install: 'Metacello'.
Works in Squeak and Pharo etc.
Installer is designed so that it can be your only dependency so you
don't need to have everything and the kitchen sink loaded. It doesn't
even need Monticello, since it knows how to install source from inside
a mcz.
