Yes, it is a bit out-of-date; as Taylan suggested,
<http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2013/bpt/35002>
is a better overview if you're interested in what's coming next.

For end-users, there should be no significant differences between
Guile-Emacs and regular Emacs at this time, and any incompatibility with
existing Emacs packages is a bug. It's likely that there will be slight
performance regressions for a while, in the course of switching to the
Guile VM, but nothing too major; I do have to use it myself on a
relatively old laptop, after all. (-:
