Again, sorry to be slow.  But I really try to understand. :-) I have
been annoyed by such things about different Guile with the website [1].

What I get with 353bdae (pre-1.2) or f4450e8 (post-1.2):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix install guile -p /tmp/guile
The following package will be installed:
   guile 3.0.4
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

so why are you are saying 3.0.4 is not used when it is the default?


Well, if I understand correctly, your point is the inconsistency between
the default Guile (3.0-latest, i.e., currently 3.0.4) and the Guile
(3.0, i.e., currently 3.0.2) used by most packages in guile-xyz.scm,
especially when there is bytecode difference.  Right?
