Re: 2.6 Release -- SCheme
this talk is all well good but meanwhile GC is inoperable on updated distros using Guile 2.0. I think one should bite the bullet and eliminate swig/guile.

Until somebody figures out how to get Guile-2.0 to load extensions from somewhere other than /usr/lib, Guile-2.0 support isn't going to happen either.

But this is a topic for your distro' s support mailing list, not for here.
