Well, for me "incremental" means, that the task has to be partitioned into steps that can be handled in a couple of hours work, while, hopefully, after each step there exists a somewhat "working" guile, which runs the test-suite and such. The question of released versions is more along the lines of project management - and that is not my interest. I will participate in discussions about which improvements would make sense, and I may also argue for applying certain changes earlier or later, but I accept if things are rejected or postponed.
