Regarding the MVC issue; here is the fabled posting. We may want to start a thread about the semantics of negation to settle the debate.

We do not plan to decommission (excise from the release) MVC until the time when nearly everyone who uses Squeak does so as an environment unto itself, not as a free alternative to other similar Smalltalks where MVC compatibility is important. We feel that this could happen within the current year (but we had the same feeling a year ago ;-). Whenever the time comes, we will produce a "Last Picture Show" image that is the cleanest and most complete MVC-based image possible, so that it can be used and maintained indefinitely by motivated MVC survivalists.
(Are we becoming Kremlin-watchers here by the way?)
I feel that it may be a theoretical distinction, with the new project loading mechanism, whether something is "in" the image or not.
