Thanks all for your kind words and encouragements! Doru, you're right it has been made possible only because a lot of people took care to clean Pharo time after time*. By example, bootstraping Pharo 2.0 would have been a lot more pain! We can also thanks Pavel for the work he did / does on the minimal image that goes into the same direction.
Cheers, Christophe * boy scouts rule: Leave the campground cleaner than you found it.
