Ahhhh those ones ;)   Now is much clear. Thanks Dale. I forgot sbout those
friends. Now I wonder.... if we select #linear is cool because all the
packages will be loaded and initialized one after one. But we usually would
need to update a lot of configurations to load ONLY the last version in a
conflic.
On the other hand, if we use #atomic  most of the times the newests verions
will ONLY be loaded automatically, but we may have a problem as all the
postDoIts are done all together at the end.

So...which one do you think is the best approach for ConfogurationOfPharo
?   I guess linear and update the others confs....what do you think ?

cheers
