Hey,

I accidentally blew up my image because I was so used to having "Close
All Debuggers" at the top of the "Do" menu, I used the keyboard to
quickly select the first, and it immediately started trying to intall
GitInfrastructure or Metacello stuff.  It wrote a bunch of stuff to my
.changes file, too.

This sort of image configuration is only done once when you initially
set up an image, why should you and even people who never use these
have to mouse or key past them every time they use Do menu?  If you
don't want to have a SqueakMap entry there is always the "Extending
The System" workspace.

An initialization script that is executed when loading your base-layer
packages to configure automatically is the quickest and most
convenient way to configure one's image and makes one-click
installation possible.

Best,
  Chris
