I like that I really think that we need to have infrastructure support to control the complexity. I like the OBPlatform idea. After the question is how much layers do we need. I imagine that we should not have that much one this is well done. Does the Platform code you suggest conflicts with some existing ones that could be merged/migrated into.
OBPlatform seems to try to abstract the "Smalltalk platform", whereas the platform class I had in mind abstracts the Hardware/OS platform. Using a similar name certainly will lead to confusion, so the question is what else to call an OS abstraction layer. Other than OSAbstractionLayer ;-) Michael
