Cool indeed. And I liked the idea of coming up with an "Itch Framework".

Me too; maybe that?s a good name for the device driver framework behind the Scratch gpio server...

I should think that the "itch framework" concept was envisioned as a more grandiose concept. Surely it was meant to have positive connotations, such that "scratching an itch" would lead to constructive and happy outcomes.

A device driver framework on the other hand seems much more specific, and certainly more likely to lead to annoyance and irritation rather than happiness. For naming that, you might better draw inspiration from one of the more specific categories of itchiness as enumerated here:

Interesting that the prelude chat indicates that with Debian Jessie Raspbian, GPIO can be used without root privilege. Search turns up some info only for Python. I presume this helps GPIO from Squeak also?

We don’t know yet since that facility was only put in at the very last minute and I heard nothing about it until the release notes. Right now it looks like it might not be useful, but we’ll see how it develops.
