Frank,
what would you propose as the solution then?
Just delete all the classes in the Universes package and remove the references to it and keep the empty package?

Any code changing the image as loading a package from trunk should end in a numbered change set.
This is how Cuis works and how Squeak should work.
And please , get rid of Squeak-Version also. As we have automatic procedures, we should have a way of made reliable change sets and put this change sets in GitHub
We can't, without a fair amount of work. Your squeak "version" is the sum of versions of all the base packages. When we remove packages from the base system, we must bump Squeak-Version's version by the removed package's version number, so that the aggregate version number doesn't decrease.
It's a bit crazy (because if you and I both have packages Foo and Bar, but my Foo is one version ahead of yours, and my Bar one version behind, the aggregate version number is the same), but it's what's there. And fixing it won't be easy - to do it reliably you'd have to record the versions of the individual packages - you'd have a _version vector_.

This question comes up from time to time. There's an empty package named Squeak-Version in the image. When you unload a package, let's say Universes-mt.48, you add 49 (48 + 1) to the version number of Squeak-Version and save it as well to ensure that the global Squeak version number keeps increasing.
