No problem -- this kind of self-examination is a good idea.

However I do feel like guile probably needs to be thought of as a
project still pretty "deep in the design phase", so while we need to
make a strong effort not to be gratuitous with our incompatibilities,
I suspect there will still be plenty going forward, for another few
releases at least.
