Hence my absolute insistance on having the required version of guile 2.x in lilydev. Admittedly, I overlooked people using linux natively. My initial guess is that such people (including myself) are more than capable of compiling and install guile from source, but this is certainly a point to consider when the dev/guile branch is actually ready for merging. I know that David already knows this, but for the benefit of anybody else reading this email who might be confused: lilypond GUB includes guile, so we're not talking about people who want to test 2.15. This only affects people wanting to compile lilypond from source, i.e. developers and contributors.
