Could we declare it stable? All Guile packages in Debian that I've reviewed has an ugly workaround due to dwz problems which level 14 solves. So making 14 stable would be nice so they can move to it. I don't understand the rest of compat 14 changes but assume they are all good. I'm not sure this solves the problem for dgit though, if you want something that works for backports. /Simon
