That is a long-term possibility, but nowhere near reality. We would have to make Guile coexist well with Emacs Lisp, and until we try it we won't know if it really can work. Does integration of Emacs into the GNU Desktop mean that Emacs just starts picking up Gnome and dbus facilities, Why not? (It already does dbus.) and dropping portability concerns, Certainly not!
