Is i18n the only obstacle?
IOW if someone would improve Guile's i18n infrastructure to match that of
Emacs, would it be included into Emacs?

To be clear, I'm not asking to make a pressure on you, but only in context of
motivation. If someone would know that i18n is the only obstacle, maybe this
person(s) would find motivation to do the job. Without that it is discouraging.

This way or another, a clear decision would be helpful here. "Yes, we want
if...", "No, we don't want, because...". At least it would clarify everything
and close the topic.
