Hi all --

Please find attached a change-set that unloads Etoys from Squeak 6.1alpha #22748 (and later).

Let us use this artifact to discuss the future of Etoys in Squeak 6.1 and beyond. You can use Monticello or the ChangeSorter to take a look at what's needed besides unloading the Etoys package itself. Also check preamble and postscript of the attached change-set.

!!! Yes, simply re-loading the Etoys package is not enough to restore basic Etoys functionality. There are several sub-method changes needed for the Etoys integration into the base system.

Here is what would still work through the package MorphicExtras:

- Games

- Sketches and PaintBox

- Flaps

- CalendarMorph

- SpectrumAnalyzerMorph

Here is what would still "work" through the package System:

- Object storage (ImageSegment etc.)

- ProjectLoading

Here is what would still work through the package Protocols:

- Lexicon tool

- Vocabulary framework

Here is what would be gone:

- Tiles, viewers, and scripts

- Players and costumes

- Pen trails, Turtles, ...

- References, CustomEventsRegistry, ScriptingSystem

- Siblings for (Player-only) uni-classes

- DeepCopier support for (Player-only) uni-classes

- Preferences #noviceMode, #eToyFriendly, and more

Note that we still have several Etoys-compatible releases such as Etoys 4/5/6 and Squeak 5.1/5.2/5.3/6.0. Best compatibility is probably with Etoys 5. Most updated base system is probably Squeak 6.0. :-)

So...should we remove Etoys from Trunk at this point?
