That's right, Cog's recent improvements introduced some instability.
So I think we should release Squeak 4.2 with SqueakVM only and
postpone the multi-VM release. We can also make the release cycle of
Squeak 4.3 shorter to catch up with the two release per year policy
and deliver the VM improvements earlier. I'm also sure that a lot of
improvements will be done till April/May on both image and VM side.
