Since you have to bump the version number of the Squeak-Version 
package anyway when you unload a package to ensure the monotonicity of the 
global version number, the common practice is to add the unload script as 
the postscript of that package. A line such the one below should do it:

(MCPackage named: '<name of the package to unload') unload

Levente

P.S.: do not remove 39deprecated yet. It's minimal, and it contains two 
methods that we need if we want to migrate from SharedQueue to 
SharedQueue2.
