Lest someone be misled by your statement: No one in this thread has suggested we step back to the R5RS while ignoring subsequent developments. The question is how to proceed. Should we take the R6RS as our base document, for example, and argue over what to remove? Or should we take a smaller document as our base, and decide which parts of the R6RS should be added? One of those approaches could be characterized as reactionary and the other as conservative, but I'm not sure which would be which. The more important question, in my opinion, is what kind of process will work for the longer term, after the R5RS and R6RS both become ancient history.
