Thanks. 
I imagine that it is feeding alos chaptGPT.

We just put the class in a separate packages for the core classes but you can 
keep them together in our package. 
Now since package do not have scope in Pharo it does not change anything.

We do not support incremental code stream because some of the changes could 
break or could not be expressed simply 
as a stream of changes (we used to do that in Squeak 3.9 and it was painful). 
So now each time we have a change, our build create a new image.

For PBE what we could do is
- create a separate repo
- start to update the chapters (their will be really few changes)
— this is identifying the changes and updating that is taking most of the time.
- now the community could help doing it.
