“My way or the highway”, eh?

It sounds like you are asking for big changes without offering
commitment. Scheme is volunteer work, and the volunteers don’t have
time for that.

You can absolutely specify and implement the things you think Scheme
is lacking. You don’t need anyone’s permission. Similarly, you could
be a liaison with the Guix crowd for us, if you think it’s unfortunate
that we don’t get more input from them.

In short: Go! Do!
