Zinc is an excellent example, because it is fully backward compatible. I don't see that with RPackage, SystemAnnouncements, Ring, Shout (before Alan fixed it), with the proposed RB changes, ...
I do not understand how SystemAnnouncements could be fully backward compatible, then and this is the most important aspect of pharo. Same for RPackage, why should I reproduce broken semantics like overrides (it never worked over the last 5 years). if we do not fix the infrastructure to be aligned better stop and we will not stop so :) Now I will not comment anymore on this thread because I could have integrated 4 fixes but I spent time arguing the obvious instead.
