If SqueakSource would be made read-only even for existing projects, it could help "encourage" the transition to the new resources (ss3 and hub).
I can't speak for others, but I'd personally find that quite irritating (and I make sure I keep my ss3 repos in sync with the ss ones).
But the King still needs to remain available for some time yet -- to preserve some of the diamonds in there which may not have a caretaker at this time.
More than that: Metacello has - as I understand it at least - coupled the notion of a project together with the source of that project. In other words, a ConfigurationOfFoo says "get these packages from this server". That means that unless you take care in how you write your ConfigurationOfs your source location is a single point of failure. Dale, how complicated would it be to separate out the notion of findability? In other words, to have the person _executing_ the ConfigurationOf to say "look for packages in these locations" with defaults set to {ss. latAm. ss3}? frank

Hi,
I strongly recommend all of you to move your projects into one of the alternatives:
