I would *love* to have guile-1.6.x back again. The guile issue is one of the big reasons I haven't spun a CD recently.
Guile 1.8 depends upon GNU's bignum package gmp, which isn't normally pre-installed on most common distros. For my CD to successfully install gEDA, it needs to install guile-1.8. To install guile-1.8 I now need to install the bugnum stuff. This is too many dependencies for me to feel comfortable about bundling onto a CD with a fairly dumb installer. Therefore, reverting back to guile-1.6 would be a very welcome thing to me!
