Because Guile behaved like that for quite a while. Ok, I thought about my general view of the stable branch situation, and this came from it: We need to be much more rigorous about really keeping the stable branch stable. From now on, only release critical fixes will be allowed. I intend to be firm on this. We are not getting anywhere without restraining us from putting new stuff into the stable branch. I don't want to stop anyone from working on Guile, but I'd like to get 1.6 released fast. This will help all of us. See my posting to guile-devel. _______________________________________________ Bug-guile mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-guile
