In my opinion, while not a requirement for switching
to Guile 2, it would be really nicer (and wise to implement
before removing Guile 1 support entirely) to byte-compile
scm/*.scm in the build system with 'guild compile'. It
currently fails because we load the files by just
reading them without making them modules and the
compiler doesn't know about our macros at compilation
time. I haven't followed everything related to Guile 2,
is there prior discussion of this?

Best,
Jean
