I know this is policy, but in the case where there are several interpreters available (such is the case of Scheme), might it be more reasonable to put a popular interpreter in dev-lang, and the rest into dev-scheme? This should keep clutter in dev-lang to a minimum, and still allow users to easily browse by their preferred language.
