That's news to me, glad you mentioned it.

IT departments tend to be diligent and quite extraordinarily effective
in pursuit of objectives related to making things not work.

In general, if you just want to write a plugin, the versions of
VMMaker and Squeak image are not critical. This makes good sense,
since you would most likely want your plugin to work properly on
a range of Squeak images and VMs without modification. This also
means that just about any working Squeak with VMMaker will do just
fine as a development environment.
For myself, I am usually using a Linux platform, so I just grab
whatever source tarball is on Ian's web site, load up whatever
VMMaker might happen to be on Squeak Map, and carry on.
If you are doing something that really requires the latest and
greatest sources such a making sure your plugin is 64-bit clean,
then you will want to get the latest SVN sources and the latest
VMMaker. But this can be a lot of aggrivation at the moment, so I
would suggest starting with something old and stable to get under
way. Don't worry too much about the 64-bit cleanup, it turns
that it's quite straightforward to do later on.
