In skimming the messages, I thought I read both that an image saved from a Cog VM both can and cannot be later opened with an ordinary VM. Which is it?
Cannot.
It makes sense for the image to have to include Cog support code, but does that and being saved from a Cog VM spoil the image for the current closure VMs?
Yes. The code works on both Cog and Closure VMs though, so development can continue on whatever VM you desire without a split in package versions. As Cog is able to read closure-images, but not the other way around, I imagine we will want to keep releasing official images saved by the closure VM. Cheers, Henry
