Overrides in VW parcels

Holger Kleinsorgen-4
One thing that constantly astonishes me is the massive amount of
overrides in the parcels that ship with VW (not counting contributed or
preview parcles). The overrides also quite often affect methods that
don't seem to be related to the parcel).

Two examples:

"Debugger-Support" overrides CharacterAttributes>>queryCacheAt:for:put:

"Templating" (part of WebToolkit) overrides PCFilename>>head (yikes!)
and VariableSizeTextAttributes>>lineGridFor: (huh? why is this in
Templating?).

I plead for either integrating the overrides into the base image if
possible (especially if these are fixes).
