Hey Tim,
(hey List)
please revoke this (however we do this in the trunk/inbox-process)

Your version of withAllSuperAndSubclassesDo: uses
#allSubclassesDoGently: hence will probably bring in
non-in-memory objects.
FWIT I today (or yesterday) put a similar version into the inbox,
using #allSubclassesDo: instead of #allSubclassesDoGently:

So Long,

The point of being gentle is to not touch swapped out objects. If no objects are out, the methods should behave identically, so it is not outright wrong to use them.

but with #withAllSuperAndSubclassesDo: and #withAllSuperAndSubclassesDoGently: available
I would suspect that the latter guarantees that swapped out objects remain
untouched while the former will touch them, which is not given with Tim's implementation :)

So long,
