Yes, distributions shift this all the time...

I'm still on Fedora 25 which has guile (being 2.0.13) and guile1.8 (being 
1.8.8)

While checking these version numbers I saw the copyright notice on guile 1.8 
was last updated in 2008(!) and guile 2.0 in 2016. I think it's fair to state 
guile 1.8 is getting rather outdated and I'll keep my vote to stop supporting 
it ASAP :)
