David, you are not a passer-by: you hack on a GNU project that has been
using Guile for some 15 years now.  You know Scheme.  You like GNU, I
presume.  You have spent paragraphs and countless electrons about these
two or three bugs, on the development lists, using them as a meta-token
of all that you perceive to be wrong with a project: but you never filed
a bug report.

As my dear grandmother used to say, "shit or get off the pot": either
submit a patch or file a bug report.  Discussing Guile in GNU is totally
on-topic, but using these two easily fixed bugs to smear the work we
have been doing for the last few years is not productive.
