Good regurgitation of Agile/Pragmatic/... folklore. Pity it has no base in reality. Most Scheme implementations have always had functionality well beyond the standard, and many Scheme users don't see a contradiction in having a minimalistic language standard[1] and rich implementations. [1] I'm talking about R5RS here, but the story doesn't apply to R6RS either. That was never intended to be a small incremental step, as your fable suggests. P.S.: BTW, I think the metaphor you meant was the boiled frog, rather than stone soup.
