MC: somebody has to say this

Schwab,Wilhelm K
I am starting to make a 1.1.1 image; the first step is to save packages so they can hopefully load in the new image.  The first step of that is to save my package called Migrate and then to ask it to save everything else.  Bugs in Migrate or not, I saw a progress bar mentioning the Pharo in box.  That's not acceptable on various fronts.  It was cumbersome to add, needed to be added in various packages, and now I find perhaps does things behind my back.  Whether or not it did is not the point; it emphasizes another way in which our current system is inadequate.  

We need real packages, a single-operation way to save all of them to a clearly specified location, and a simple way to separately upload something that has been so saved to the in-box.  Migrate is my attempt to help with that; clearly it's not enough.

Bill
