On Stackoverflow someone asked what to do with good code which isn't needed anymore. This was the answer: <blockquote>As an answer, please consider this short story: The dead code Collector: Bring out yer dead code. Man with dead code : Here's one. The dead code Collector: That'll be ninepence. The dead code: I'm not dead code. The dead code Collector: What? Man with dead code : Nothing. There's your ninepence. The dead code: I'm not dead code. The dead code Collector: 'Ere, he says he's not dead code. Man with dead code : Yes he is. The dead code: I'm not. The dead code Collector: He isn't. Man with dead code : Well, he will be soon, he's very ill. The dead code: I'm getting better. Man with dead code : No you're not, you'll be stone dead code in a moment. The dead code Collector: Well, I can't take him like that. It's against regulations. The dead code: I don't want to go on the cart. Man with dead code : Oh, don't be such a baby. The dead code Collector: I can't take him. The dead code: I feel fine. Man with dead code : Oh, do me a favor. The dead code Collector: I can't. Man with dead code : Well, can you hang around for a couple of minutes? He won't be long. The dead code Collector: I promised I'd be at the Robinsons'. They've lost nine today. Man with dead code : Well, when's your next round? The dead code Collector: Thursday. The dead code: I think I'll go for a walk. Man with dead code : You're not fooling anyone, you know. Isn't there anything you could do? The dead code: I feel happy. I feel happy. [the dead code Collector glances up and down the street furtively, then silences the dead code with his a whack of his Ctrl-X] Man with dead code : Ah, thank you very much.--BraveSirFoobar</blockquote>.

Hi there I think this has been discussed before, but I cant tell if there is an official rule for that (maybe it could be added to the wiki). So let's say I have a patch which removes the Collection arithmetic protocols (332). Now this protocol is still quite nice and we can offer it as an extension package for those who need it. Where should I put this Collection-Arithmetic package? In its own squeaksource project? Or is there a project for extra packages for Pharo? -- Â Simon
