Matthew, Robby, Jay, Sam, and Matthias, Thanks very much for the thoughtful response. Having a new racket2 language and smaller runtimes will be welcome improvements on the technical front. I look forward to a settling on a stable 5.3.6 for current code as well as seeing version 6 late when it arrives.
