[Moose-dev] Re: pharo 2.0 vs pharo 3.0

I think that releasing Moose 4.8 as a stable version following the migration to Pharo 2.0 is a very good idea. It allows "users" to get the latest fruit from 2.0 without having Moose as a moving target with ongoing development. I admire and approve being on the bleeding edge, however with CI I think there might be some middle ground. I only know the parts of Moose that I have been using - Roassal, Glamour & Magritte - but from an outside perspective it seems that the migration from Pharo 1.4 to 2.0 went fairly smoothly. So maybe most of Moose is insulated from Pharo infrastructure changes? As a trial (to see how much resources it takes) perhaps Moose can have both a CI job for 2.0 and a CI job for 3.0. Maintain both streams only as long as practical - perhaps until the to the first 2.x release to incorporate any Pharo bug fixes into Moose 4.8. Don't put a lot of weight on the above. I am just sharing an idea for others more involved to have the greater discussion. I have only been an occasional contributor to Roassal, and the next couple of months is writing up my dissertation and not much programming (but after that I'd like to get more involved.)
