I've noticed a tendency in core-updates and staging of withdrawing old packages, packages which were created from forks in the past or packages failing to build due to increased complexity of the package. If we check commit removing jrnl variable which has it's source pointing to which is an old fork of original active project . Other example the reason it's not updated at - development was moved to . That tendency concerns me as a packager it's not clear for me which criterias were used to make a division to withdraw the package(s). The age of project is not always a good measure for example example, [Common Lisp] ecosystem has quite ancient packages (5-8y old of not touched since the last commit) but still in active use (check [pgloader]) It's an open discussion to drag some attention to this case and compile some common seance checklist before removing package from Guix ecosystem. From my experience it's sometimes hard to have new package to be included :).
