I was trying to get devdocs working properly in a branch, and since it
probably requires updating the whole Ruby world in Guix, I was wondering
about some changes.

One of them is about the EOL ruby packages. The following packages from
Guix have reached their EOL : ruby@2.6, ruby@2.7, ruby@3.0

Since they are packaged but shouldn't be recommended, my solution would
be to move them from guix to the guix-past channel. Is that the right
thing to do ?

Yes, if they are not used in Guix and they are no longer supported
upstream, then they can be moved elsewhere.

I was looking into this a few months ago, but ran out of spare time to
continue the investigation.  Thank you for working on this.
