Let me add: full parallel-installability (currently our support is only partial), so that a 2.2 can come out without affecting 2.0 installations. (e.g. putting libguile.h in a versioned subdir, and have pkg-config add -I$includedir/guile-2.0/ to the CFLAGS) > If you think catch/throw on delimited continuations may be ready in a > couple of weeks, and that it=E2=80=99s the last big feature you have in m= ind for > 2.0, then that=E2=80=99s fine with me. :-) Otherwise, I=E2=80=99d be in= favor of > delaying 2.0 as long as needed so we can work on the above points.
