Well, yeah, that's another way of putting it ;-)

I don't know enough to voice an opinion on that, but it certainly
sounds right to me.
One other annoyance I know of wrt the differences between these
branches is the fact that you must explicitly ask pkg-config about one
branch or the other (as in "pkg-config guile-2.0"), which is -- how
should I put that? -- suboptimal. Maybe this nit could be fixed as
well at some point.
