Guess I need to put things in SmalltalkHub :-)
Well, ss3 is just an HTTP Monticello repository service. It's not ss3's fault that something else mentioned MCGemstoneRepository.
As long as both would work, it would be a non issue. But using MCHttpRepository location: 'http://ss3.gemstone.com/ss/HO-Experiments' user: 'PBK' password: ''
fails miserably in Pharo 2.0. That's why I had to change it to MCGemstoneRepository for it to work.
So, either ss3 isn't just an HTTP Monticello repository service or Pharo 2.0 introduced something special... I don't know.
They both work without problems. And technically they are the same. We started to add the specific repositories for speed ups.
