> Hi,
> If you take a look at Morphic-ar.375, you'll see this:
> 
> "Move a few methods between various packages to make unload easier."
> 
> This commit moved representsSameBrowseeAs: out of Morphic for Lexicon and PreferenceBrowser.
> 
> Of course, this message is used exclusively by Morphic so far, but if we classify it in Morphic package, then we can't easily remove Lexicon or PreferencesBrowser.
> 
> Indeed, since Morphic would extend Lexicon, it would depend on Lexicon, and we could not unload Lexicon without first unloading Morphic...
> 
> Recently, the same message crept in Morphic again, breaking one of the PackageDependencyTest.
> IMO, this is a bad thing.
> 
> If we do not remove the message representsSameBrowseeAs: when we remove Morphic, then it's not a drama.
> And representsSameBrowseeAs: does not depend on Morphic.
> It's a general query that could be used by another framework.
> 
> OK to move it back to respective packages? (Tools & co).
