Guile is an implementation of scheme, which is specified
already, in about 50 pages, plus SRFIs.  It started with the SCM
codebase. What's being designed deeply?  What will follow the
deep design phase?

Why not implement guile to have generous backward compatiblity
from version to version?  Are you aware that lots of existing
code written for guile is broken and un(re)usable?

I'm just a wannabe user, who has a hard time using guile for
anything beyond SICP exercises.
