Well who's going to write a debugger if no one wants to use the
interpreter before it includes one?

The syntax hasn't even been formally defined yet.

Again, if it's a useful feature, it'll get added in time.

Tom wants to embed a minimalistic VM into Arch which can support any
language someone writes a compiler for.

You make it sound like the end users will be writing R5RS Scheme in
their config files -- that's not necessarily true at all. New
functionality could write their own readers for config files or
instead syntax-rules macros could be used to turn the same config
files into an executable.
