So at this point, if someone else wants to investigate, that would be great. Also, there's no reason that we have to pursue the more ambitious changes. For now, if no one has time to investigate the modular approach, we could attempt to do something more like what we did in 1.6.
In that case, we should replace the 1.8 ice-9/slib.scm with a version
like the one in 1.6 (or one even simpler), and continue to work with
the SLIB upstream to alter guile.init there as appropriate.
Ideally the 1.8 slib.scm should look like this:
(define-module (ice-9 slib))
(load-from-path "slib/guile.init")
I concur, but 1.8.0 has been out for a very long time, and stable
branches aren't the right place to make 'more ambititious changes'.
So the only reasonable approaches are:
withdraw 1.8 and abandon the branch, and cut a new stable branch
later (this isn't that reasonable, really)
fix the 1.8 branch (and head if it's not ) by applying the above
fix, and release a new 1.8.x
