yeah I think "Update" needs to be removed from World Menu. Imagine first time trying Pharo and you exploring the World Menu which is the No 1 thing a newcomer does , you find Update and use it and BOOM! this happens. I would not blame that person if he / she says "fuck this" and removes Pharo from his/her system.
Its not just that it brakes Pharo , it makes you really worried what else it may do to your system. I think also that even if its hidden it should always display a message like "Update may really brake your Pharo image, make sure you saved your image before proceeding . You want to save now ? " and offer an option to save image. Now with configurations being so popular maybe a method that will iterate through all Configurations , update them and then load their packages, may be the way to go for an update. That means that we need also to create some guidelines on how configurations should be created to make the experience smoother.
