[plt-scheme] Re: R6RS

Well, as far as I understood by briefly reading the status report and
some updates there will be a standard kernel and support libraries.
The support libraries are under review in the SRFI process and the
standard kernel is R5RS with some modifications. And I imagine for a
scheme implementation to be R6RS compliant will have to implement the
kernel and support the libraries, much like in Java as far as I
remember, right?

Is PLT Team already thinking on moving the implementation to R6RS
slowly? Or are you waiting everything to be decided? What will most
probably happen to the current module system?

Cheers,

Paulo Matos
