It would be good to add a preLoad and postLoad hook in the Manifest

yes, we miss a package initialize method ...

Dimitris,
Relying in class side initialize is not very cool. Mostly, because
it's hard to know EXACTLY when Monticello will send it. For sure it's
the first time you load that class. But then it could be if such
method changes again. But maybe too if you clear some Monticello
caches...
Also, you may have dependencies (of order execution) with other class
side initialize. So...another approaches you can take (depending on
your needs) is lazy class var getters with ifNil: or if you have a
ConfigurationOfYourApp, you can define #postLoadDoIts in which you
can perform the whole initialization of your app. Or ...from the
#postLoadDoIts simply delegate to a class MyAppInitialize.
I do a bit of all of them hahaha.
Cheers,

ok that means I cannot rely on it and I will have to initialize
my class variables in specific methods. No problem, ifNil here I
come :)

Correct: a class #initialize is called when its code is
loaded, but only if it is not yet present or different in
source code from what is already present (this last point
will bite you one day ;-).
Else, the #initialize should be called manually (for example
to reload some caches, or reset some system state). This
sometimes happens in #postLoads or install scripts.
I am not aware of any automatic invocations.
