This all true, BUT ... :-) > This takes a lot of work, is never easy and almost always has issues.

Resources are limited to everyone, commercial vendors, sponsored ones like Pharo and, last but not least, "users" [1]. [1] That, like me, read these discussions and only participate in the list because sometimes they seem biased because of a lack of consideration/feedback. I won't argue against the enormous progress and things being done by the whole Pharo team, but IMO minimizing the use of resources (time/effort) as a whole is more an objective than a resources thing. > The alternative is to never touch anything and stay stagnant. This is a false dichotomy. But can't deny its punch. :-) Regards, Esteban A. Maringolo
