I agree that we should make it clear what to start with (obviously the dev

The list of packages seems ok to me, except for Regex.
What is your problem with Regex?
See, that was exactly my point ;-)
People prefer different sets of stuff in their image.
What Pharo could deliver, would be a small core image, then a couple of
approved/tested packages or package combinations that are easy to load
into the core. And as a service to new developers we could offer the
full blown developer image.
One thing that makes Squeak difficult, even for me, is that you never
have a place to go to when you want an image and a set of packages that
are known to work. Usually you end up having to ask on the mailing list
which combination of packages and patches work. Like in the old Linux
days before Ubuntu.
Btw, Eclipse does the same thing, you have the Eclipse core, add on
language packages but also pre-packaged, complete environments.
