Thanks for the background, Ben.

It sounds like the path of least resistance is to forget Pharo 5 and focus on packaging up the Pharo 6 VM in a maintainable way. Then to get a stable VM all I need to do is go hang out at the beach for a few weeks/months while other people sort that out. That works for me :).

I have the master branch VM mostly packaged for Nix now, I think.

Is there an easy way to run the test suite headless? (How?)

I noticed that a few tests failed in your excerpt... perhaps I would consider 99.9% pass rate as good enough to ship. Reasonable?

Cheers!
