That method does a lot of stuff which is somewhat redundant. It's too
long anyway so I'll factor it so we can access just what we want in
your shrink-trunk.st script.
BTW, in ReleaseBuilder we call an agressive Smalltalk cleanUp: (true)
vs. with #unloadAllKnownPackages and also your shrink we just call
Smalltalk cleanUp: (false).
I've looked at the methods and seen the differences between aggressive
and not but... I was wondering does anyone know whether there is an
over-arching conceptual difference between the two? e.g., under what
circumstances would a particular clean-up be considered aggressive vs.
not?
