Perhaps.  I dunno.  Sounds wrong to me.  But: I dunno.

Advice: pick some big app to work on.  Work on that app.  Slow down
work on the guile core -- but revise the core as your experience on
the big app accumulates.

In other words, whether or not there should be such a rule seems to me
to be the kind of question that experience can help you decide.

Write Emacs from scratch, in pure Guile, or something.

Or blow S48 out of the water as a SCSH host by writing Guile
replacements for all of the text and shell utils.
