Yes, Distributed Smalltalk was cool. But we weren't talking about the entire Smalltalk system and whether it is possible to make it interoperate. You obviously can make it interoperate in various ways. What we were talking about was the globals dictionary, the only instance of SystemDictionary, that serves as the repository of global variables in Smalltalk systems. That is not an integration point and not a filesystem, despite tonyg's insistence that since it has some very superficial similarities, it therefore is a filesystem.
