Without knowing much about Linux distros, I'm wondering if the best
course of action would be to aim to bundle Guile 1.8 with the LP 2.20
release. Would that help in keeping LP in the distros? Would it
sidestep the issue of their having to maintain Guile 1.8 alongside
Guile 2? But if they insist on recompiling from source, is it even
possible to "bundle" Guile 1.8 with LP in other than our own
distributions? And is it feasible to do even that? Wish I had the
knowledge to know, but I'm sure many on this list will have the answers.
Guile 2 is clearly impracticable for serious LP work at present, so it
has no place in a stable release. But hopefully work can continue in
the 2.21 development release. Although slow (pun intended) progress
is being made: kudos to all those who have managed to get this far.
