Huh?  In http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-78/mail-archive/msg00008.html
I tried to discuss what I see as the differences, including my thought
about changes to SRFI-64.  You did not respond to this message.

Suggesting that a SRFI duplicates functionality of another SRFI
and otherwise qustioning the need for it is appropriately done

but SRFIs are more useful for the Scheme community when there
is some attempt at getting wider agreement.
