because:
1) the reason why squeaksource survived is because there is an smalltalkhub 
absorbing most of the packages. 
2) I never say it was not possible to keep it running. I said it does not worth 
the effort, which is a complete different thing. Of course, if someone wants to 
take smalltalkhub (there is even a configuration for it) and fix the problems 
that emerge, I will be more than happy to update the production image.
