A table probably will do (rows of schemes, columns of large editions).
Only two columns for now, but I hope Yellow Edition is coming soon.
Or if you like the colors, you could just change scheme background for
each scheme to the right edition.

It's just a fancy versioning, I think. We go from the lowest energy in
the color spectrum (red) to highest (umm.. blue?). I suppose John will
declare r7rs-large complete when it goes invisible at ultraviolet, or
gamma rays if there's so much to pack in :D
