Yes, absolutely. Speaking as a user :-), I would not mind at all being
told "you must use version X.Y of libgc because it's the only one we
support". Based on the number and complexity of GC-related issues over
the last few months, and the level on continuing change in libgc, I
think it could be a fruitless and losing battle to try to support
multiple libgc versions - and at the very least it's a lot of extra
effort.
(And IMO it's also fine for you to arbitrarily advance the X.Y, when
there's a new libgc release with a fix or feature that Guile needs.)
