The problem with fixes for Athens is, that nobody could tell we what the
current state is.

http://forum.world.st/current-athens-configuration-td4914441.html#a4914488

the latest changes are from alexej and I guess they are important for
sparta and the further development for bloc/sparte for pharo 7/8
We can not just take the latest version and put it in pharo 6, and hope
that it will work.
We need for this external package a good communication about changes and
versions.
This did not happen here. And I am not sure if we maybe already put some
changes in pharo 6, that are not at the athens repository.
I once considered athens as an important package for the new pharo ui, but
the way it is handled now looks more like abandoned.

that is the reason why I just put the fix for 20166 in the comment of the
bug entry instead of providing a slice / or update the version on the
repository.


It is ok if we tell hilaire to not just put bugreports on the ml but create
a bug report on fogbugz instead. So people can fix/provide a slice and run
the validation.
But this happend in this case. It is just that we do not get it right to
handle this case because it depens on athens.
