Hi, I had a look at the Pharo 7.0 today and see metadata for methods (Author and timestamp) has been removed*, what is the reason for this? Having the ability to find methods created around the same time and/or by author is quite useful when fixing bugs in the core libraries. There is also quite a lot of history that is lost as well with this change (I am always impressed when I stumble upon methods over 15-20 years old!). Could this be reverted, please? [*] all methods have a stamp, but it is the same for all with only a timestamp from the bootstrap(?). Best regards, Henrik
