The question is what we call core. I think that core should contain less and less but pharo should contain infrastructure and FFI or Alien are infrastructure. If you look at my answer to German on "Re: [Pharo-project] Really Important message (tm)" April 16 You can see that with a fast loading package mechanism then we could really introduce in "Pharo-Core" (= what we have now) infrastructure package to produce Pharo and works on making a real core. FFI does not belong to this core=mini but to Pharo from my point of view Mini Mini + FFI + Tools + IDE + Compiler ....= PharoCore Pharo + Sounds + Morphic examples + archiview.... = Pharo Note that the belonging of one package to group is not automatically clear. This is why metacello is key and a metacelloRepository. Steg
I wouldn't include neither FFI or Alien FFI in neither PharoCore or PharoDev image.

That's only my opinion.
Maybe Stef should tell us more about why he thinks it should be included.
