Hi!

There is one thing I would like, but maybe not for Pharo6 since there is
a lot to do, but I would like people to have this in mind: A way to
deploy commercials apps.

I would like to be able to say something like "Smalltalk
lockForDeployment" and "Smalltalk prepareForDeployment" for example.

The first one could just lock the access to the image and let a way to
get them back if you have a password. The second could unload everything
that you don't want for production if you don't plan to debug the image
if there is a problem.

At Synectique when we had a desktop application it was really hard to
lock everything :(
- Disable Halo
- Disable Spotter
- Disable the shortcuts to open a playground, a Nautilus, anything else
that the application
- Remove the private repositories and credentials just in case the
client find a way to get through and get a Monticello
- …

We should not have to do all that. Else Pharo will only be used to build
commencial web applications where the image is on the company's server
and not on the client's server. :(
