Is this on Automake's TODO list for technical reasons or
political ones? (So call me a cynic, but "RMS request" is pretty
suggestive :-)
If it's political, then:
- how likely is it to actually happen?
- is it wise to make a decision for the wrong reasons, just
because they did?
NB: I'm NOT asserting that Guile would be a bad choice; I don't
know enough about it to have a meaningful opinion. But it should
be chosen for a better reason than political pressure (even if
the pressure was applied indirectly, ie. to another project).

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea.
