Yeah, I agree, there is definitely a need for Metacello.

I suggest to make it easier to use, faster and more lightweight.
Currently it is more the opposite.

I propose something along Gofer, but for Metacello (I believe somebody
already did something like this?):

1. loading the latest stable version must be dead simple

� �Metacello new project: 'OB'; loadStable

2. loading the latest development version must be dead simple

� �Metacello new project: 'OB'; loadDevelopment

3. specifying what groups to load must be dead simple

� �Metacello new project: 'Seaside'; group: 'Tests'; group: 'Javascript'; load

4. loading should not require to additional infrastructure to be
loaded into a Pharo image (I imagine a server that has all
configurations preloaded and that returns Gofer scripts that can be
executed in the target image)
