In the FOSDEM-talk by Frederic Crozat (SuSE) about Distributions, he mentioned their approach which I find good to adapt: If a package is broken for more than 6 months, we should just remove it from Guix. Prior to removing, we should announce on the dev mailing list, maybe someone will care about it then. If there is no response within 2 weeks, we really remove it. What do you think?
