I did mean to delete only Etoys-specific code like player, costumers, 
tiles etc. My initial draft included these qualifications but got elided 
while editing for brevity.

I am glad you pointed them out. Yes, Morphic extensions and enhancements 
introduced by Etoys can be retained in Squeak image.

BTW, I do like Etoys and have helped school teachers and children use 
it. It is important for Etoys to retain backward compatibility with all 
its projects. I believe it will be better off as a separate loadable 
package than organically conjoined to Squeak.
