I think that the remarks of john is really important. If we would have a good C interaction then we can minimize also the dependencies on C plugin and the like. Stef

If you look at my answer to German on "Re: [Pharo-project] Really Important message (tm)" April 16 You can see that with a fast loading package mechanism then we could really introduce in "Pharo-Core" (= what we have now) infrastructure package to produce Pharo and works on making a real core. FFI does not belong to this core=mini but to Pharo from my point of view
Mini Mini + FFI + Tools + IDE + Compiler ....= PharoCore Pharo + Sounds + Morphic examples + archiview.... = Pharo
I know what you are thinking ;) But I even wouldn't put FFI neither in PharoCore or Pharo.
If you want FFI, load it by yourself or in the metacello configuration of YOUR app.

Note that the belonging of one package to group is not automatically clear. This is why metacello is key and a metacelloRepository.

I wouldn't include neither FFI or Alien FFI in neither PharoCore or PharoDev image.

That's only my opinion.
Maybe Stef should tell us more about why he thinks it should be included.
