I think this is both untrue and unfair. Untrue, because Guile users are either developers themselves or users of Guile-based applications. In the former case, they should be able to manage installation from source; in the latter, there are wider packaging issues to address that are more in the domain of the distributor than of the core Guile developers. Unfair, because everyone contributes to Guile for free and spends their time according to their own perception of priorities. No one has a right to demand something different. (Opinion is fine, but the above doesn't read as an opinion.)
