Re: could we rename ice9

You mean we should do this change when we get a new module system?

Otherwise, I usually find "as soon as possible" to be a good time for
incompatible changes.  To do it before the 1.3 release could be a good
idea, especially since we may have to wait some time for the new
module system.

Personally, I'd prefer the ice-9 directory in the 1.3 release to have
a different name, e.g., `core'.

Is anyone opposed to doing this now?

Does anyone have a better suggestion than `core'?

(I agree that we should split things into suitable categories later.)
