Don't forget the Pharo experience. There used to be a Pharo-Core-1.3 and 
Pharo-1.3 (a.k.a. Pharo-dev).

There was a ton of confusion when people reported a bug in "Pharo" - 
sometimes that meant Core, sometimes not.

With Pharo-1.4, the distinction between Core and non-Core was abandoned. 
IIUC, the reason was that developers worked day-to-day with the non-Core 
image - refactoring and so on - then had to make sure the changes worked 
in Core too. Going the other way, when working only in Core, if code is 
refactored or eliminated (because it looks like no senders in Core), 
then the problems would show up later when the non-Core image is built 
or run.
