No it does not. Pharo 60 is alpha. Moose does not have to use an alpha version of Pharo.
That's a choice with advantages and disadvantages. Seaside moves more slowly and is used in production systems. That's why it runs on stable releases of Pharo and is sometimes not up to date with alpha's. You're saying Moose is used by Synectique in production so needs more stability?
A lot of the visualisation and gui work depends on parts that are supposed to be changing in Pharo 6, so we need a way to both move ahead and keep production systems stable. In Seaside we have several versions available at the same time. That could work for Moose too, and that has consequences for dependency maintenance. It is just more work, and someone has to do that work.
