Revising Squeak 7175 (3.10.1)
I think you describe your appreciation/critique as if the issues which Ken was concerned about can be fixed and uploaded to the public download area until everybody is happy with them :(
Can you reformulate so that the [main] concerns which Ken raised in his message on Wednesday are addressed, if possible one-by-one, TIA.

Hi Ken, Hi Edgar, Hi Klaus,
First appreciation. It is very good to see fixes to 3.10 come out and to see a project run to schedule.
Second appreciation in the form of critism. I just downloaded the revised 3.10.1. The first thing it tells me is that it is broken and that I should click for an update and save the image.
Everybody who down loads squeak must do this.
Does something about this sound wrong to you?
A revision to fix mistakes should not need user interaction to fix mistakes made to the revision in the last step.
First, you wonder why the releasers just did not do those two steps before the release.
Second, if you look into the problem you will see that updating to 7175 from the update stream avoids the mistake entirely. The phantom catagory is not there. The downside of doing it this way is that the changes file is not condensed. So why not add a changeset with postscript to do only that? Then release the result?
Yours in service and curiosity, --Jerome Peace
