Which leaves what, apart of GNU/Linux?

In any case, Emacs can never be satisfied with the current Guile
infrastructure for i18n.  There are too many shortcomings, some of
them were mentioned here.  Yes, Guile can be fixed to be better in
that area, but no one is working on that, AFAIK, and what's more
important, lead Guile developers don't even agree Guile should move in
that direction.  (This especially puzzles me: to have a good example
before you and not follow it?  Emacs learned what it has now the hard
way, have paid in blood, sweat and tears for that knowledge, and still
Guile developers think they "know better"?  Present parties excluded,
of course.)
