Isn't Grease dialect dependent by essence ?
If Pharo and Squeak diverge, then there will naturally be two versions

However, for these two messages, I think Pharo core should integrate
them and align with Squeak. The question is more whether you need to
distinguish Grease-Pharo1_1 from Grease-Pharo1_2 ...
Probably else this means that Pharo and any system is bound to die because
it does not change.
The rapid changes and no-backwards-compatibility you prefer and advocate
are not essential for a Smalltalk system to "stay alive". Just look at
VSE, it didn't change in the last 10 years, and people are still using it.
In constrast Pharo 1.0 was considered abandonware four months after it's
release, which caused trouble for some users who didn't think that they'll
have to patch their code and rebuild their images to "get" updates/fixes.
