Is there any to be had?  I got a whole lot of promises from Guile
developers over the years.  Basically, whenever you write up the status
quo and directions how to work with the current state, possibly
preparing a branch with ongoing work for them, that's the last you hear
of them.

The last round of "this is really important, let's do it" even included
Richard Stallman and Andy Wingo.  It went dead like all the previous
ones.  Everybody is willing to state how important it is but nobody ever
does anything except me.  The only thing that ever gets progress are
very distilled bug reports not involving any LilyPond code.  But since
the last Guile-2.0 release was 2.0.11 in March 2014, bug fixes don't
make it into usable releases anyway, and if we have a turnaround time of
2 years for any serious bug, we will not be getting anywhere soon.
