Correct.
I admit that I put my own Guile project (SART - the 3D system based on
Guile) on hold because of the convergence of changes that should land
within the next version or two.
But I didn't do it because I perceive guile as a moving target.
Rather, I did it because I think that the final picture is now
becoming clear, and while it will be different from what we presently
have, it will also be radically cooler.
So I actually enjoy the wait. :)
