There's no way Guile's going anywhere if it's just me. A renaming system would allow someone to resolve conflicts on their individual machine, but I don't see how this could support the "untar; configure; make install" model or the RedHat/Debian package model. How will a module find the other modules it needs, without human intervention? I sympathize with your crystal/emulsifier analogy, but I don't think what we're proposing will affect the way anyone codes, or even the way they organize their code. We're just setting aside a portion of the namespace that we want to try to keep neat. Maybe I don't understand your objection...
