I agree with what others have said in this thread.

But let me also add that my vision is that we continue towards some degree of
base compatibility, not just between the Squeak forks, but also with GST and
the Cincom products and GemStone/S and other commercial smalltalks.  If this
can be achieved at the core, that'd be great, but if we can keep up the work
on both tools (Grease, Monticello) and documentation (such as the Seaside
Porters Guidelines) that allow people to write cross-platform tools and
applications, that'll work.

To this end, I see the core Squeak as getting smaller, but possibly broader in
base functionality, with more things being *unloaded and loadable*, such as
the recent effort to replace Traits with a lightweight loadable compatibility
layer.  Yeay!
