But Bigloo, Chicken, Gambit, ELK, MIT-scheme, SCM and STklos will almost certainly not adopt R6RS.
Marc, can you give us some more context here? Are there any fast Scheme compilers that will adopt R6RS? Is there a split between the serious computations folks like you on one side? I don't know who I'd put on the other side, the egg-headed theoreticians maybe :) How did the R6RS come to embrace feature-creep?
