But I'd say that, given the limited resources we have, supporting two
extension languages is undesirable.  Let's face it, Guile support is
something
that Stallman wants, but probably not a lot of other people.  Now if somebody
steps up to do the work and is motivated enough to build a community to
support it (like what happened with Python support) we should of course
seriously consider integrating that work.  But if somebody wants to do
this just because Stallman says so, I think we shouldn't encourage
him/her.
