Basically, we are fucked on that line I'd say. Pharo is a fork and not too bad at that. Sometimes, one needs to throw the baggage out of the train. Right away through the window when the train is going. The less we muddle with this, the more we can refocus again. The key point is to get a new maintainer who is as good as Ben. I mourn the loss and would love to see him back (along with a couple of other people, like Lukas, Adrian, Cami, etc). As a community maybe we can become better at damage control. These were high caliber individuals and contributors.
