>From a generic Smalltalk perspective, sure. But that's not the role of Installer here. :-) Let's discuss it in a Squeak-specific way: Installer vs. SqueakMap, it is then. Metacello should not be part of that discussion. It is an external project not within the control of the Squeak community. Still, compatibility is very important. It is just a different discussion.

Still +1 for InstallerMetacello.

This is its disadvantage: it means too many different things to different people at different levels.
I hold that it is _not_ descriptive in that way :)

I think: If you want to use new Smalltalk software via Metacello, use "Metacello new ...", regardless of the Smalltalk you're using.
