In short: the Self world lacked its Andreas and Ian which was the main factor why Self and Squeak followed different paths.
But if you then look at the development of Tweak/Croquet and the latest discussions on the vm-list, it seems they learned their lesson and now are using a much more closed (hostile?) form of development...
So something clearly did not went the right way with Squeak from their perspective.
One thing that the Traits discussion again has shown that it is very hard to innovate in Squeak. There is a huge hostility against doing new things, even if the alternative is complete standstill.

Jecel- Thanks for the history lesson. I think I agree with your points.
Marcus- But if one wants the status quo, surely one just adopts a specific Squeak. Traits would seem at this point to be the best of both worlds: 'old' Squeak is unaffected, and experimenters can try out the newer technology.
