And I could said it about any package which provide abstractions. Now no project which is part of Pharo can use mocks for tests. So it is not question of loading it for own project. Pharo contributors can't use mocks. And there is another story. Imaging Ruby guys join Pharo development (not real story :)). Many years In Ruby people use mocks and "human should" assertions. Most TDD evolution was from Ruby. I imaging their impression about Pharo "the best for TDD". And generally I would said we have quite bad tests in system. They are slow, they corrupt image. Mocks will help to improve this situation.
