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)? _,,,^..^,,,_ (phone)

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.
