- "The Board" would steer the community to achieve separating the
"SqueakCore", and promote _tools_ that help achieving the separation, and "re-loadability" of some most important packages.
- Once the separation is done, "The Board" would be repsonsible for steering
"SqueakCore" _only_.
Sounds good to me. I would like to see a body organizing Squeakers more than anything else, and this is the way to do it. I wouldn't put it so strongly, though: in addition to arbitrating the maintenance of the core part, there is a place for helping people exchange their Squeak addons.
Also, Squeak would continue to evolve the Squeak we know. Discussions about tossing it and starting from the ground up are interesting but off topic. If you want to do that, then you are free, but Squeak's organization should take care of Squeak.
