Göran,

You know that many packages, even some very large ones, are reasonably portable.

But I guess portability kind of stops when non-trivial GUI usage is involved.

Also, as Pharo is making more and more changes, portability will become harder 
and harder until it is mostly gone.

There are only two solutions:

- write your own code to a least common feature set and miss all the new APIs
- halt all non-compatible changes in Pharo and stop its evolution

Neither are attractive options I guess.
