Stef,

I'm sure you really miss last year, but we're entering the second quarter of 
2011 ;-)

Getting back to the technical part of your post, I also always tried to 
understand why in some cases we end up with this strange hierarchy (which you 
mock saying Car inherits from Wheel), specially if we take in account Smalltalk 
is a single inheritance language, so you have only a shot to specialize a given 
class.

Maybe the folks that did it in the past were less used to composing than 
inheriting and the second way saves writing some new methods to avoid breaking 
the Demeter principle?

Perhaps understanding the "crucial incident" could lead us to better roadmap. .
