The issue here is that the current generation of programmers seem to want political power more than doing actual work. Everyone and their grandmother saw the huge decline in quality between r5rs and r7rs. The people who wanted to do stuff created racket. The people who want to rule a graveyard stuck with the rnrs process. Seeing this happen to scheme whose whole purpose is the ability to create languages is bizarre. I can understand a fight like this over gcc or Linux,a fork there isn't something a single person can do as a weekend job. Scheme on the other had is absolutely something a single dev can design and implement in a few months worth of weekends.
