I checked: it was introduced in update no. 30711 with #issue 12163
including the following statements:
>"Who uses poolDictionaries? I suspect extremely few of us."
>...
>"It would be a bit cleaner. I know us old timers don't even see the
>poolDictionaries: line anymore, but >I dislike having to explain it to
>students."
<humor>
I would also vote for not displaying Traits anymore. It confuses me when I see
them.
Instance variables are also overvalued - we should remove them from the
default
template too. It's just too confusing to have them there.
And categories now make no sense either - we now have real packages. Let's
remove them
since nobody understands them.
Object subclass: #Foo
would be much easier to understand! Maybe we should remove superclass as well
- lets
inherit from Object. Would also avoid deep hierarchies like Morphic ;)

But for real:
If it is too complicated for students one could build a custom "teaching" image.
>From the info I see on the issue tracker it sounds to me like an "academic"
>change
- still do not understand the real reason...
