I understand. But we need to get the system (especially the UI, which 
needs a lot more work than it has) up and running, need to get guys 
like Pupeno involved and learning something (and have them hold a stake 
in the system), and regardless of what's written, having something 
there that works and provides a known API is better than not having it. 
And, frankly, the UI is my work and I need to make progress on it - 
it's one of the prime reasons I started this project.

So, yes I know this will have to change, but, no, I don't care and I 
don't want anyone discouraged by anyone else's work. If not for this 
attitude, we'd all be working on Squeak improvements.
