I also support the image as a sole persistence idea and I'm actually using it for years on VisualWorks.
For Pharo there seems everyone is avoiding this idea, mostly because of image corruption fear. Well, we need to improve the robustness of Pharo image and VM then this fear will vanish. It is obviously doable, if VW is reliable enough, why not once Pharo?
Someone needs to start fixing and improving. Why not, for example, you?
I'm a Pharo user, not Pharo developer. Developer of Pharo itself, that is. I'm just using it as a tool to contribute on other fields like on the web. Therefore it is not to be expected to know Pharo internals enough to contribute directly, but I can report wishes, errors and help to someone more knowledgeable to fix them. And that's what I'm actually doing for improving Pharo reliability, ask Igor and Stef. About issue tracker: it is not a duty of us Pharo users to open and track issues there, IMHO. This is a tool for Pharo developers, so I propose that one of you "harvest" them from mailing lists and open issues. You know better how to open an issue than me. I can be then invited to describe the problem better and help with you solving it. And yes, this distinction between Pharo user and developer is necessary part of Pharo becoming more professional and business friendly. Best regards Janko

It's much better than talking.
