That’s a different way of stating that Lilypond with Guile2 made a huge
step forward. You call it the starting line, I call it "main roadblocks
removed". Those are two expressions for the same concept :)

And yes, this is about personal and social things, which are very real
and affect how we tackle technical issues.

In the past years the technical problems wrought quite some carnage on
the social interaction between Guile and Lilypond, but now the social
situation is lagging behind the technical one — which looks a lot
brighter now.

Lilypond with Guile2 is almost on track to moving forward with
"targeted, well-defined, effective and reasonably achievable
improvements".

And that make me smile — and want to thank you and all the others who
made it real.

Best wishes,
Arne
