I think both these are Extremely Important (capital).
WebClient as replacement for HTTPSocket (it already provides a compatibility
layer; Andreas seemed to always considered WebClient to replace HTTPSocket),
and SqueakSSL because you can't load anything meaningful on the web without
SSL; github, twitter, most sites. And that's good.
Plus we _finally_ could put the Plain Text Passwords for Monticello behind
SSL…

Best
