Hi Hilaire.
Its taken us quite a while, but one of the things I like to think we've learned as a community is that the right way to handle big changes is to start early, but have multiple stages. Andreas mentioned the idea of making Tweak into a package loadable into squeak-dev. This implies a whole lot of work, in fact in the past this stage has usually been something like half the work required for the integration of projects, so I wouldn't trivialize the proposal. It is good for the community because it allows people to try it out more easily. I think this is a better proposal than committing lots of people that have never seen Tweak into a "Squeak 3.10 is Tweak" plan.
Part of the process of making Tweak loadable would include identifying its prerequisites explicitly, and giving them, also, proper review and usage, a stage that would probably be at best rushed in an "all at once" plan.

"full" version (which really just means that it'll be loadable via SqueakMap) that's something we can talk about. Which is not quite a yes, but thus far I haven't even looked at what it means to get Tweak into 3.9 and I am willing to re-evaluate this option.
No Andreas, we cannot play that YES-NO game. We don't have time to waste resource on that sort of no answer position.
Best regards,
