Does anyone here have strong opinions on various scheme reports? It seems like most scheme implementations are either r5rs or r6rs, with a few r7rs ones lurking around. r6rs is supposed to be the best for development, right? While r7rs-small is geared towards implementations and simple runtimes. Will r7rs-large change this? Will it ever be possible to easily write standardized scheme, without cond-expand baggage?

R6RS tries to do the right thing but has some unnecessary fluff (like enumerations) and doesn't go far enough IMO. R7RS Large is going to be several times larger than R6RS and seeks to standardise features relevant to modern software development.
