I see that shadowing #offerVersionsHelp might cause further problems, for example, updating Help-Squeak-Project will remove the method from Tools and vice versa.

I am just doing the same for the Preference Browser. Could someone tell me what would be the practice here?
I could use *override extension methods, but this would still leave some shadows ...
Should we keep #versionsHelpString in the VersionsBrowser at all, which contains a deprecated version of SqueakToolsVersionsBrowserHelp?
Couldn't we implement VersionsBrowser >> #offerVersionsHelp something like this:
Smalltalk
at: #SqueakToolsVersionsBrowserHelp
ifPresent: #open
ifAbsent: [self inform: 'You need to install Help in order to get help.\For more information on how to install Help, please read the help.' withCRs translated]
That is, drop the help support if Help is not installed?
Best,
Christoph
