Hi pharoers

just a little email to tell you that we are super happy because we are in the situation to remove old, unused or part in love for retirement from Pharo.
And we are doing this at the level of the image but also the VM.

So far we removed
GT
Glamour
Alien (under way)
OldFFI (under way)
Old byte code (on the way)
Many Pharo 80 deprecated methods.

We plan to remove
Spec1 - finally
Commander
Refactorings in favor of Refactorings2

At the level of the VM
Yesterday pablo fixed 1000 warnings
We removed
Newspeak support
MT,
old bytecode
while fixing ephemerons, GC bugs, ...

This is super important to travel light because it will let us be agile and faster.
So if you see questionable code please let us know.

We do not want to remove functionality but we want to make sure that we do not doublons.

S.
