since years marcus is telling that MC storing ancestor information is doomed but we do not have something to really replace it.
This is yet another thing.
Yes, I was talking about the cache, not the ancestors. I think that removing the cache is indeed safe, isn't it?
Monticello keep all history data of all package in image, this is not a cache. When you delete it, your package loses it's history and you can not merge anymore.
MCVersionInfo allInstances do: [ :each | each instVarNamed: 'ancestors' put: nil ].
We did that on Pharo2 release and it saved 8MB (nearly a third of the image).
