IDB Method History preloaded in fresh image?

I'm getting my new image set up and loading the standard add-ons. I use a
number of Ian's goodies (http://www.idb.me.uk/) and was interested to notice
that one (but only one) was already pre-loaded. Any comments on what is
special about that package? Why not others?

I can hazard a guess - in the beta program there was disucsson about
how useful it is (especially if you aren't using STS).

Its one of those things that is suprising - as Smalltalk-80 has always
had a change log, why did no-one think of it years ago?

In the original beta all my goodies were pre-loaded in the base image.
I, and a couple of goodie providers, just found it made things a bit
difficult (development wise) and asked for them to be removed from
future releases.

OA asked if they could put the HistoryBrowser back in as they felt it
was a useful addition that most people might use and I was quite happy
to provide a more "stand alone" version for them.
