This is generally stuff done for a customer. While this isn't free software (some of it might later be, but that's very different from committing up front), it has resulted in bug fixes being sent back to guile. It has helped in a very small way the advancement of the notion that it is reasonable to use guile - which really is an uphill battle outside of the pro-guile crowd. So I'd really hate to see the exception abandoned - it would essentially mean the end of guile use in my workplace, or at least a great diminishment.
