ANSI does not say anything about object initialization, so we can do whatever we want and this is fine. If all Smalltalk would adopt the initialization pattern of Pharo we wouldn't need a WAObject class that calls #initialize on all platforms exactly the same way. Either way, for us it doesn't matter how Pharo (or any other Smalltalk) initializes an object. It is really simple to customize.
