Yes. I'd planned to talk about that after we figured out the initial structure. In fact, I do think the Debian Emacs Policy's probably not a bad example to consider[1], though I don't think we should worry about trying to match it directly. If we were to add something like the above, perhaps /etc/guile/X.Y/ and /etc/guile/common/ might be appropriate, but I'm tempted to put this on the back burner for the moment.
