In a recent discussion with Marcus and Lukas we came to the conclusion that a package universe for Pharo 1.0 would be the best solution. Somebody would be responsible to manage this universe and only add packages that are tested and known to work. I think this is really important that we have higher standards regarding external packages. In my experience with SqueakMap, the chance that a package actually works is less than the chance it is not working. This is a show stopper for newcomers. Our plan was to remove SqueakMap from Pharo-core, but I assume it could be put into the universe so it can be loaded again.
