I haven’t looked at the branch, but I think it’s great to see it live
and it’s great if it can be merged!

Some things to pay attention to before merging to ‘main’, since it
corresponds to the current 3.0 stable branch:

  • Make sure no backward incompatibilities are introduced in
    preexisting modules;

  • Make sure the ABI of libguile-3.0.so and that of public modules
    is unchanged, or is changed compatibly;

  • Make sure there are reasonable tests and doc so it can be maintained
    (and used!) going forward;

  • Robin has a copyright assignment on file, so we should be fine
    (whether we’ll keep doing copyright assignment for Guile is still
    unclear, but we can discuss that separately).

I think we should also wait for a green light from Andy.

Thanks Gregg, Christine, Robin, and everyone involved!
