 Apologies if this thread is becoming unmanageable :(

 I was wondering about this: what happens to eggs using irregex?  They
 currently (use regex) or (require-library regex) and (import irregex).
 This would stop working when regex is its own egg, wouldn't it?  So eggs
 using irregex would need to depend on the regex egg during some transition
 period.  It wouldn't be too great if they all started depending on a
 bleeding edge version of Chicken since several OSes might still have 4.5.0
 or older in their package systems.

 What would be an acceptable transition period?
