I guess what I'm suggesting is to split the currently planned 1.8 into a leaner 1.8 and a 1.10, i.e., to make 1.8 less ambitious in order to get out bugfixes and new technology faster. The gh_ stuff (and other things in the current 1.8 TODO list) could be done in 1.10. > Also also, I promised rms to keep backwards compatability for a long > time (and I do agree that it is important).

Yes, this would be a typical lean 1.8 thing, and is a good argument why a lean 1.8 release wouldn't be painful. I just want to add that this is only a suggestion. While I think it would be good to make a lean 1.8 release, I'm not going to argue further for it. :-) M _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
