Perhaps, but I'm for cleaner code. Having to keep deprecated stuff around (and worse: having to write various deprecation wrappers for them) is detrimental to code quality. If the consensus is that removing deprecated features will not ever be done, then there is little point in marking routines as such, and writing wrappers to signal their use. We could clean up GUILE by throwing away all the bookkeeping. > One stable is much too short. Surely it's not reasonable to expect > everyone to review all their programs on every stable release. I tend to disagree. At the current release rate of GUILE, I'd expect anyone using GUILE seriously to run the CVS version. I do, at least. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
