Also, given the centrality of the update process wouldn't it be good to
a) on the Squeak menu bar menu add the update URL to the Update Squeak
selection, so that e.g. it read "Update Squeak from
source.squeak.org/squeak4.3 by the next release, and
b) that immediately beneath "Update Squeak from ..." was a "Change Update
Source..." item that opened the Preferences browser with the Update URL:
selection presented?
