From I understood this is a fix to fix another problem that conflicted with some hidden logic. Apparently Squeaksource could save anempty file and you could not upload a new version. So a fix "appeared" but it broke another aspect.
Now clearly using an old image with an old vm with an old version of Seaside and thousands of files and lukas leaving for google led to the fact that indeed the process is not good. Shit happen. Now this is why we want SmalltalkHub and I hope that we will have process to upgrade.

Sure, we have the right to make mistakes. That's just the way to announce it that would raise more questions than answers in the mind of an annoying client like me ;) (to be polite)

I understand but this was reality and we should improve and structure our processes. Squeaksource is born before pharo and the current tools we use. So I know that we will be far more picky on SmalltalkHub :)
Sure, having the right to make mistakes implies the obligation to guard against mistakes. How do you write tests for all the edge cases (like simulating network load/failures, etc...) ? Nicolas
