Hi,

Say I want to use guile-dbi wich use Guile 2.2.  Is there any danger for
me to use it with Guile 3.0?  I see that Guile will recompile the module
because the already compiled one does not match, I guess.  Other than
that, any side effects?

Going by the package definition, guile-dbd-postgresql seems to make a Guile extension (C). There have been incompatible changes (both on the Guile code level, and presumably on the C level). As such, sounds risky to me.

Also, for whatever reason, guile-dbi propagates an old guile, so you'll get a propagation conflict without guarantees on which Guile version ‘wins’.
