Is there any to be had? I got a whole lot of promises from Guile developers over the years. Basically, whenever you write up the status quo and directions how to work with the current state, possibly preparing a branch with ongoing work for them, that's the last you hear of them. The last round of "this is really important, let's do it" even included Richard Stallman and Andy Wingo. It went dead like all the previous ones. Everybody is willing to state how important it is but nobody ever does anything except me. The only thing that ever gets progress are very distilled bug reports not involving any LilyPond code. But since the last Guile-2.0 release was 2.0.11 in March 2014, bug fixes don't make it into usable releases anyway, and if we have a turnaround time of 2 years for any serious bug, we will not be getting anywhere soon. -- David Kastrup
