Hi Ricardo,

I’m pretty sure those warnings are due to  IOFBF and friends.  They’ll
haunt us for years to come.  :-)

(But you can happily ignore them.)

No, we can do that in ‘core-updates’ only.

The reason is that we import code in the Shepherd, via the gexps in the
‘start’ and ‘stop’ fields of <shepherd-service>, and those modules are
currently built with ‘default-guile’, which is 2.0 in master and 2.2 in
‘core-updates’.

So yeah, in ‘core-updates’, we can happily move the Shepherd and mcron
to 2.2, but not in ‘master’.

Ludo’.
