Antonio touched on a key point here, if the goal of the
standardization is to grow Scheme's industrial use then a single
library implementation will play a key part in that happening. Just
imagine a conversation where the programmers exclaims that "Sure we
can use Scheme, there are thousands of people using the codebase so
the bugs have been worked out":

That is the plan according to the large language announcement, but,
does this sort of go against the culture where everyone implements
everything themselves? (Is that assumption even accurate?)
