Hi all! I started reviewing these patches last night and just finished 
up.  I'll reply to each patch individually with notes, the big thing is 
loko-scheme running into an error due to the change to 
chez-scheme-for-system (I think the deprecation definition might need an 
update, because IIUC the syntax is supposed to be backwards-compatible 
until it is removed).

I believe this is addressed by this comment from patch 6/6; we can't 
rely on chez-scheme being the correct version to use for racket. But 
please correct me if I misunderstood Philip!

In solidarity,
