Helpful to whom? I'd argue that it's extremely helpful to users if they
only have to deal with "package X requires Guile-Library v1.5 or above",
rather than "package X requires these versions of these 17 modules: ..."

If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests.
(in other words, what does this have to do with the topic at hand???)

Ok, I am definitely starting to feel like a stranger in a strange land,
here. If this many people really don't think that guile is missing
basic library services, maybe it's just not right for guile. I expected
several classes of response to this project, but I never anticipated
that people didn't think it was needed. Having used many languages over
the years, to me it stands out as an obvious hole. But that's just me.
Searching with google, I found a pretty good sounding proposal from 2001
by Martin Grabmueller for reorganizing ice-9 into a hierarchy a lot like
what I was working towards. It even happened to have some of the same
names like (math primes) in it! It was addressing other topics I have
yet to bring up, but planned to, such as putting srfi capabilities in
named modules and making (srfi srfi-XX) the alternate interface.
What happened to that? Based on the surrounding messages it seemed to
be received well. Nearly three years have passed...
