Yep, OK, that's what I think, too.  Adding new stuff or fixing bugs
will be no problem, but I say it owuld be nice to officially say that
no incompatible changes will be made (usually).

Ahh, I now see that I added that thing quite recently indeed (but not
recent enough to remember it...  ;).  So, I now agree that it was
entirely adequate to make that change.  It was thus a bad example, but
I can't think of any other... :-)

Yes, I agree completely.


Sooo, I want to make a new release of guile-gtk-1.2 soon and put it on
ftp.gnu.org.  Then, I'd like to go over guile-gobject a bit, properly
fitting it out as a GNU package (if it isn't already) and then we can
put it on ftp.gnu.org as well.  Ok?
