No, but we need to make sure it does not lack too many features compared with the implementation-neutral `scheme-mode' that comes with Emacs, and perhaps also compared to `quack.el'. Regarding this, I have two (minor) requests that I'll post in a separate mail. Overall, your plan looks very good to me. And I'm sure users will all find it very pleasant. :-) Thanks for working on this!
