How about releasing the V3 version as Squeak 4.6, and the Spur version as Squeak 5.0 at the same time?
Yes, that's the way to go! They (4.6 and 5.0) should be "equivalent" with each other -- Everything other than the VM and new restrictions (i.e., 64K restriction) would be the same. That way external apps can "port" to being Spur-compatible without worrying about any other functionality gaps between the two images causing problems.
This way we could keep Trunk as is; pushing all changes to Trunk until 4.6 is released, then - leaving V3 behind - use the Trunk for Spur-only. Then any changes could be backported manually to the future squeak46 repository if needed.
Yip.
