For two of the issues, the change in iteraction was an unwanted side effect.
Both where retracted.
The third (sender of) happened the following: opening the browser on a
single method
was broken for a while, and it tool some effort to fix. While cursing this
fact, I thought
that this idea of opening a different tool with no way of knowing
beforehand which one
will open was never a good idea and that I always wanted to get rid of it.
So I changed this to be able to work (the other bug was fixed some weeks
later, too),
and was thinking that if people would really not be able to life with that
they would tell...
Yours is the first comment about it.
In general, the idea of "you have to ask and get the ok from the list for
every change"
is dangerous... the Smalltalk people are *extremely* conservative. If you
ask, the only
answer will be "NO". Smalltalk is perfect. There is nothing to improve. And
even the bad
things: people use the for decades. If we want change, it will be hard...
Keep in mind that you can find a reason to *not* do something for
*anything*.
