We started to work on making the system ready to stop using these files. There are two things. - the changes are a tape that logs what you are doing and right now the system is not done to accept not to log So I imagine that you can remove the changes file but then do not compile code. - I do not get the "so I can't have changes file bundled with the tool." you do not have a bat or script that launches the application that is somewhere in a folder where you have the vm and the image? you could have the changes file there.
We are interested in your scenario because last year I got a guy working on making pharo silent. I do not know if its changes got integrated into pharo. This is really something that we want to have. - having sources and changes in a specific location - having no source and no changes (even if it means lose your code). - ...
