Message-ID: <rmijzhis41k.fsf@s1.lexort.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87a5ifyd0g.fsf@web.de> (Arne Babenhauserheide's message of "Wed,  17 Jul 2024 22:33:35 +0200")

I'll just add, as someone who works on packaging of guile in pkgsrc,
that we have had to have multiple versions for a long time.  There is
software useful enough for people to want, with various requirements.
Currently we have

  1.8
  2.0
  2.2
  3.0

If there were more concern about compatibility -- all 2.0 programs will
compile an work with 3.0 -- then we would not need to keep the old
versions.
