I understand and fully agree.
Personally I use a 3.8 image for most VMMaker work for exactly this
reason. If it works in Squeak 3.8 it usually works everywhere, modulo
a few annoyances like SmalltalkImage current, and with the recently
noted exception of Scratch ;)
I'm also happy to see the Metacello support, because it will make
VMMaker more accessible from images that do use Metacello.
