My guess: 1) Marius' time being eaten by work ;-) 2) Lingering GC bugs 3) Lack of a threadsafety audit (although it's tough to say how this would affect API; e.g. it shouldn't hold back the release) BTW, I just compiled guile-gnome against 1.7. Seems to run OK, but I get a segfault in one of the test suites, deep in GC. And of course as I noted it doesn't even build on x86-64. Will do some bisection when I'm back from holidays.
