Given vector graphics and refactorings, I suspect this will not be 
immediately complete.   In particular, there are a number of github 
Cuis-Smalltalk-* packages which AllPackages ignores.  ;^)

During transition, I would suggest keeping Morphic-Widgets-Extras and 
Morphic-Misc1 but remove them from AllPackages.   Then create two new 
packages (say Morphic-Widgets and Morphic-Extras) and add them to 
AllPackages.  Easy to #require: the old packages "by hand".

That would let the rest of us look-at/play-with/prototype refactorings 
and make sure our private/in-development packages work as expected and 
we can bless the change as a community.

I don't expect this to take a long time (perhaps a week), but a 
step-wise transition feels safer to me.
