Chicken is undergoing fairly rapid development, a good thing. It is also obsoleting the existing distributions scattered around, a bad thing. While some eggs are backward compatible, some are not, and some don't use the new features at all. (This is a small problem as the check-imports feature can help find serious bugs.)
I'm aware that currently the situation is somewhat chaotic, and I apologize if that causes problems, but if we ever want to get things into a stable state, we have to do any overhauls better now than later. The fast (and sometimes furious) development speed has indeed good and bad effects, but I'd rather push everybody towards using the latest development version of chicken and quickly respond to problem reports than sitting on a big heap of never-changing and slowly bitrotting code. Things will break sometimes, which simply happens when you have a large code base. I hope we get soon to the point where chicken 2.4 will be released and from then on I plan not to add any new features and concentrate on infrastructure, documentation and bug fixes.
