Michael, Please hold that thought on marketing. In fairness, the problem is not so much that Pharo relies on an unreliable server (which might not even be the case - being down "now" and being down a lot are two different things) as it is that the package management tools (at least as far as I have seen) are lacking important features.

You are not quite getting the point. As long as Pharo relies on *anything* hosted on unreliable servers hosted by anyone the bad PR falls back on the Pharo community. And if I would look at scripting language XY and something doesn't work and the answer I get is "oh, just install your own server, it's all distributed, stupid, don't rely on the offical servers, ..." What do you think my reaction will be?
