I'd say "What is on the Build Server will be the Release" is exactly the right thing to do, because it's the thing you've been testing. You can have high confidence that the artifact will be stable, etc. Adding in extra stuff increases the testing burden. Of course, you (you, or some kind volunteer) could have a job that adds the various extras, and tests that Pharo+(stuff) image. frank
