I have been worrying a bit about this change because I do not see how to implement it in Mes. I did not speak up because I believe that our bootstrapping efforts should not hold Guile development back. > Ludovic and I only found out about the change after the public > announcements had already been made. > > Can you understand why I consider this behavior to be dictatorial? Yes, I can see that now. However, having met Andy I could not have imagined that something like that could have been his motivation.

I hope that you can believe that I'm doing the same. When you left that was pretty discouraging for me: I enjoyed and much appreciated your recent help with the Guix bootstrap. Thank you for that! I am happy you have decided to come back.
