There's no need to remove it.
Vendoring, or bundling, is not a matter of software freedom, but rather
about maintainability or transparency.
With a bundled dependency graph, the Guix tools for inspecting and
manipulating the dependency graph do not work. But, we already bundle
the dependencies of some other Go packages, and every Rust package does
not work with the Guix dependency graph tooling.
