I was hit by this today already as it made Catalog slow like hell (which I fixed): https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/19342/. +1 for the short-term revert +10 for aligning Squeak and Pharo with a more intention revealing name Thx T.

Hi All,
can I suggest that Pharo and Squeak coordinate on a change. First, #selector is bad because it is ambiguous. As already determined #keyword is awful because it's false (it is a message selector, not just a keyword). So could we
- use #methodSelector and #pragmaSelector for the next few years, and deprecate #selector and #keyword?
- after a suitable time use #selector to mean #pragmaSelector because that's the most useful abbreviation (in my experience I most often access #pragmaSelector)?

Breaking Metacello in Pharo 6: Not good. Revert: +1
Breaking Metacello in any version = Not good.
Metacello is very backward compatible but breaking pragma semantics would require a rewrite of many configurations that work okay today and would require a new version of Metacello that contemplates the new selectors based on some criteria.
