Size of the image comes in part from ever growing MC history. The only
other big thing should be the Minimal Morphic code, which is in there
temporarily.
Else: People are welcome to help.
We do what we do and then we do a release even if it is imperfect.
Perfection is death, and delaying the release forever "because we could do
better"
will not mean that we do better, just that we don't release ever.
Pharo 1.2 is *not* a goal in itself. It is just a snapshot on the way to a
goal. Therefore
it's just a mess that is tested for some month so it does not have any obvious
bugs.
Nothing else.
