I understand your frustration. We are like parents watching a child grow
up...

For one thing, the API has been evolving as we've learned. From
loadLast/Latest, to bleedingEdge/development, now to symbolic versions
(which were sorely needed).

The other impediment was that Metacello couldn't be assumed to have
preloaded any base classes. Thus, ConfigurationOfXxx classes rely on someone
manually (or automatically via tools) adding convenience methods. Without
these, the API is hidden away in the project class.

Recently, there seemed to be some agreement between Squeak and Pharo to load
some base Metacello classes. If Configs had a common subclass, I think the
system browser would be much more helpful.

Dale, what do you think about all this?

HTH,
Sean

p.s. of course ultimately, success depends on people testing projects and
updating the configs...
