[ANSI-Smalltalk] proposed motto

[Andres Valloud]

(without having read the whole thread...) I think the best way to address
concerns like these is to encourage participation.  At least to me, it is a
clear benefit that different Smalltalk implementations behave similarly
because then porting efforts, particularly those of tools and things that
make our whole development experience easier, become less costly.

Thanks,
Andres.
