Now that the CharacterScanner world is much improved, I propose that a Very Good Way to Spend Time would be to track down all the senders of #flag: and attack the issues that are being, er, flagged.

There's a lot of them. There are ancient ones, like the July 2000 ScrollBar>scrollDown - flag: #obsolete. 

There are middle-aged ones, like SketchEditorMorph> undo: from 2007 (although the flag seems older, #bob). Hell, there's 37 'flag: #bob' in recent images. 

How about SmalltalkImage>abandonTempNames -  flag: #shouldUseAEnsureBlockToBeSureThatTheFileIsClosed. 
There's an apparently related group of  flag: #mref. 
ChatNotes>noteList asks  'flag: #why'. 
Who'd like to solve the 29  flag: #arNote methods? 
What on earth is DataStream class>initiialize doing with self flag: #ByteArray?

Fame awaits...
