Is there any technical reason that the old FileDirectory stuff doesn't stay and work in parallel to a new FileSystem? Maybe in some package marked obsolete. Both use the same plugin and the same primitives, so where is the problem?
Yes, there's one big reason: maintainability. And manpower. Who would like to maintain FD? Any takers?
Gain with a (in this case very small) bit of manpower to ease upgrade to new FS by providing existing FD for a while outweighs the loss by not doing that. As a professional organization providing a professional product Pharo should think rather that way.
Hold on.. Since when Pharo project became professional product? How much money you and others paying for using it? Yes, we position it as a product FOR professionals, but does it automatically makes a professional one? I don't think so. So, why you think that it is correct to put such requirements/expectations it?
