It looks good to me. For me, the priority list looks like:
1. Keep for as longer as we can all the requirements for running Guix
itself, e.g., “guix time-machine”. Keep all the dependencies and all
the outputs of derivations. At least, for all the ones the build farms
are already building.
2. Keep for 3-5 years all the outputs for specific Guix revision, as
v1.0, v1.1, v1.2, v1.3, v1.4. And some few others.
Cheers,
simon
