What are the arguments for and against make a new guile2 (or guile20?) port vs. update the existing guile port from 1.8.x to version 2.x? We do already have a guile16 port for version 1.6.x

I don't really have any arguments for either. Personally, I do not mind either, but I would think some people would need the 1.8.x series for some reason. There are also big changes in 2.x. If anyone is interested, here are the "highlights of changes in 2.0.0 (since the 1.8.x release series)" here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-devel/2011-02/msg00173.html
