I think that, from the point of view of the user, debugging tools are very central. So, it would be unfortunate if the core guile release tar archives (guile-X.X.X.tar.gz) did not contain the Guile debugger. It is also my guess that RMS would strongly agree on this. So, my opinion is that the core guile releases should contain the debugger. Given that, I think it is of lesser importance how exactly to administer the development, but it may still seem convenient to keep the debugger under guile-core CVS. And, if you decide to make guile-core releases without the debugger, it might be a good idea if Marius or you consult with RMS first.
