Stable releases should only include well tested and reviewed code. 
That's why 6.2 stable has only a small set of packages. I'm afraid that 
progress here could be slow. Maybe we still need to find ways to handle 
"community supported code". The codebase of Cuis + all the packages is 
too large for me to audit it. (That's of course the whole point of 
having a small image).

What I suggest is taking not the latest commit of SqueakCompatibility 
and such packages, but the last commit before the release was done. For 
SqueakCompatibility it would be 
https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev/commit/fcbe2ec8d5918b4505b136f484fa1855679f222d

Still, why do you need SqueakCompatibility? DrGeo is right now Cuis 
based. I think it would be best not to depend on any Squeak idiom.

Best,
