ok, we shall add that to LPF, where is it?

You see the purpose of LPF is to be able to make these changes in such a
way as to liberate pioneers such as yourselves to move forward.

We can offer this fix to the majority of squeak users, and this
preserves the backward compatability, in a forward thinking way.

What would help though is if you told us what you are changing/breaking
so that we can do something about it. The Author class is  another
incompatibility issue that I expect to have to address via LPF. Are
there any more?
