That seems like a stronger argument to me.  Back in 1995 (or
thereabouts) using scheme for better interoperability with other GNU
applications seemed a plausible argument, but I don't think that's how
things have worked out.  I doubt that replacing emacs lisp with scheme
would have much impact for interoperability, though removing one
extension language won't hurt.
