I would like to kindly object. :-) I share your desire to clean up outdated variables and unify access interfaces, but in this particular case IMHO the damage of probably dozens of packages not working any longer until individual patching clearly outweighs the advantages of such a cleanup ... I am afraid that many of these projects are not actively being maintained, never will be patched, and thus will be lost forever. Of course I would patch my favorite packages but I doubt that every other weekend Squeaker, likely not having subscribed to this list, will do so, too. This is why I would prefer a fallback solution with DeprecationWarning.
Best,
Christoph

Thanks Eliot. If nobody objects in the next day or so, I will move both
System-dtl.1170 and System-dtl.1171 from inbox to trunk. That will remove
the #World binding.
I realize that there are some externally maintained projects that may be
affected, but I am reassured that old Etoys projects can still be loaded,
and I expect that any remaining problems can be easily addressed.
