Steph, please try this with ConfigurationOfPharo first. You have much more control over that, and it will allow you to break the tools fast without bothering others. We use ConfigurationOfMoose.
When you develop you want to always get the latest (and certainly not on project you have no control over).
You want to, but you can't. And you definitely don't want to have to create all kinds of configuration versions of packages outside your control just to be able to load. I would like to include Torch. Doesn't work with latest.
Cleaning up of moose configuration is much appreciated. You probably want to add some groups, so you can have your tools.
Stephan
