Hi Guix,

I noticed that webkitgtk-next is defined in such a way that its name is
set to "webkitgtk", not "webkitgtk-next".  This contrasts with how other
*-next packages are defined, such as emacs-next.

With respect to webkitgtk, if I run:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
guix install webkitgtk
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

the version assigned in webkitgtk-next will be installed.  On the other
hand, all packages that depend on webkitgtk will be build with version
according to version assigned to %webkit-version.

I think I'm correct since I've just installed cl-cffi-gtk (which depends
on webkitgtk) and the REPL told me:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
WEBKIT> (format nil "~a.~a" (webkit-get-major-version) (webkit-get-minor-version))
"2.36"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

That is, it picked up the version assigned to webkitgtk, not
webkitgtk-next.

My question is: shouldn't webkitgtk-next be defined with its name set to
"webkitgtk-next" instead of "webkitgtk"?  Thanks.
