Without, it's *far* from obvious! Guys, calm down a bit please. There will be a Pharo Consortium, we will actually pay something, so it is a time to start improving the support infrastructure as well. With users vs internal developer distinction included.

And one of attributes of a professional is to stand the constructive critics and not feel offended immediately.
