Jaja, you're right :).
What is better? Having SmalltalkImage or OSPlatform hardcoded there? If we
decide the right answer is SmalltalkImage, then we should change the
deprecation in SmalltalkImage which currently is:
*platformName
"Return the name of the platform we're running on"
self deprecated: 'Use OSPlatform'.
^ OSPlatform platformName*
And maybe it's better as
*platformName
"Return the name of the platform we're running on"
self deprecated: 'Use OSPlatform'.
^ self os platformName*
Cheers!
