well... afaik, no one outside pharo community is using the configurations, the other guys on vm-dev prefer the old way of doing things.
also, the group "pharo" is intended to include the things necessary to produce a "pharo vm"... this is what time ago was in the ConfigurationOfPharoVM. That means: you can produce a CogVM without loading group "pharo", but not a Pharo VM.
so so... Because without the compatibility package the configuration does not even load in Pharo, and then you can build air only :).
and even more, your changes imply that code will be loaded into Pharo image with FS. So, there's two concerns: - whether ConfigurationOfCog should load cleanly on squeak image(s) - whether you can use loaded stuff to produce non-pharo VM for first one, i don't remember when the last time i tried it and it will probably won't work, so no big deal for second one, it is important to keep lettling people choose what they want to build. -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko.
