Report on the Stygian Blue and Reddish Green ballot

[Daphne Preston-Kendal]

The votes are in!

A summary of the votes can be read here: <https://codeberg.org/scheme/r7rs/src/branch/main/ballot-results/dpk/2025-03-stygian-blue-reddish-green-report.md>
The raw ballot data is here: <https://codeberg.org/scheme/r7rs/src/branch/main/ballot-results/dpk/2025-03-stygian-blue-reddish-green.csv>

Summary of the summary:
• literal value immutability passed, but only by a hair among implementers – this will probably need a further survey of implementations
• definitions and expressions in any order passed, but (as noted in the original question) will need further thought
• effect of multiple values returned to the continuation of a procedure call subform remains effectively completely unspecified due to no option passing
• SRFI 207 notation for bytevectors passed
• string-ref SHOULD be O(1), there is no MUST and no special-case for sequential scanning
• linear update procedures will be kept as they are
• all the proposed removals from the Batteries passed
• SRFI 152 is accepted as the basis of our string library – and there was much rejoicing

Thanks to all who voted.

I notice that srfi.schemers.org was also down, but now both are back
up again. packets died at akamai, so maybe there was a ddos?

My UptimeRobot alerts didn't trigger, so it may have been somewhere in between you and those servers.
