Sure. But this, and several of the other problems people have
mentioned, are pretty obviously maintainership problems. A good
maintainer should get back to you with a yea or nay quickly. It's not
caused by the code, so there's no reason (that I can see) to believe
that this problem still exists.
Just for a few months, let's not recycle our old complaints about the
Guile development process. Let's give Maciej a chance to do what he's
volunteered to do before we start kvetching again.
Actually, you need to give Maciej quite a bit of time, because he has
a backlog of issues to make decisions on. I've sent him a half-dozen
messages about unresolved questions that should probably be dealt
with.
