Hence my absolute insistance on having the required version of
guile 2.x in lilydev.  Admittedly, I overlooked people using linux
natively.  My initial guess is that such people (including myself)
are more than capable of compiling and install guile from source,
but this is certainly a point to consider when the dev/guile
branch is actually ready for merging.


I know that David already knows this, but for the benefit of
anybody else reading this email who might be confused: lilypond
GUB includes guile, so we're not talking about people who want to
test 2.15.  This only affects people wanting to compile lilypond
from source, i.e. developers and contributors.
