The program's name
Personally, I don't think adding guile prefix to a package name is the way
to advocating Guile, unless it's Guile specific program and used by Guile
only.
GNU Artanis is written in pure Guile scheme, but the name doesn't imply any
guile stuff. If people like it, then they will like the power of Gui

The program's name is and will remain GNU fdisk.
We're talking about the name of the

Hello everyone,
I write because I would like to rename the GNU fdisk
package.
In the version I am preparing, the program is written in Scheme, using
