I think it would be best if an unversioned rust-cargo symbol was created that was equal to the highest rust-cargo release. (i.e. rust-cargo, not rust-cargo-0.76) Alternatively, since (seemingly) only one rust-cargo package is present at a time, perhaps the version information could be removed outright and only an unversioned symbol used. The alternative, (specification->package), does not work in all circumstances (primarily with -L) [1]. This would also make Scheme code that refers to rust-cargo cleaner, either not needing updating every new version when the symbol changes or removing potentially awkward (specification->package) calls. I see that most/all of the symbols in crates-io are versioned. While from a user perspective it would be nice if there were more unversioned symbols, rust-cargo is /probably/ the one that needs it the most since it's so central to the ecosystem. I can also see why versioning every symbol might help with development given Rust's release schedule and bootstrapping chain. This would follow the pattern of linux-libre. Posting to guix-devel instead of bug-guix since I'm not entirely sure this is a bug or working as intended.
