Pragma preferences have their own disadvantages. It might be not that easy to find a good package to host a new pragma preference without disturbing the dependencies.

Let's change that one by one. And maybe to this at the beginning of a release cycle, not the end. ;-)

Hi Levente, hi all,

shall I take a run-up and migrate all of them to pragma preferences which are still used (see also deleteUnusedPrefs.1.cs [1] [http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2021-November/216925.html])? Or is it also okay to replace a single preference whenever I encounter and would like to update it? :-)

Best,
Christoph
