Please stop bad-mouthing Vladimir=92s excellent work. Guile is =
fundamental to gschem and gnetlist, and any improvements to guile =
scripting are improvements to the toolkit.

None of this takes anything away from your excellent work on a different =
approach. However, I do not approve of your ambition to have your =
alternative replace gschem and gnetlist. That may happen naturally in =
time, but it is not a reasonable goal to pursue directly. Please =
concentrate on Xorn and its potential advantages.
