Some of them are, sadly, quite unacceptable, IMHO.

I would really dream of a stable, correctly interruptible (i.e. a Cmd-.
that really works), limited Pharo core. That would help development so
significantly and allow more experiments.

I solve that by making stuff that distance itself as much as possible
from a lot of the Pharo stuff that evolves far too much, far too fast to
be relied upon (widgets, graphics, editors), and I'm looking forward to
building a limited(*) image with just and only the things I rely on.

One of the thing I need is a CI that triggers both on my code releases
and any Pharo update (including the stable ones) since even stable
releases may change core APIs.

That I can agree with :)

(*) I did try with the minimal image, and the tools are clearly limiting.
