Yes but pharo is moving so slowly we will get more people taking care of

Why
why don't you freeze a version for pharo1.0
Else we can just stop now.
because this will be the same with pharo1.1 and 1.2 and 1.0

No there are not supposed to work in 1.0
CERTAIN frozen versions are supposed to work on 1.0 and others won't.
A lot of software on mac does not run automatically on snowleopard and 10.2 

Tell me if Im wrong but we should use release and version.
