Because Guile behaved like that for quite a while.

Ok, I thought about my general view of the stable branch situation,
and this came from it:

 We need to be much more rigorous about really keeping the stable
 branch stable.  From now on, only release critical fixes will be
 allowed.  I intend to be firm on this.  We are not getting anywhere
 without restraining us from putting new stuff into the stable branch.

I don't want to stop anyone from working on Guile, but I'd like to get
1.6 released fast.  This will help all of us.

See my posting to guile-devel.
