Would you stop dragging your feet after your hard work has been trashed? That's what happened with R6RS, which ignored established and widely supported SRFIs for no other reason than to provide its own. Yes, support for SRFIs is not mandatory in further Scheme standards, but I think it's reasonable to expect that discarding already-done work only happens after motivating it.
I really didn't like this attitude of the Scheme community as a whole, and as a result, I've chosen Common Lisp as the Lisp to learn.
