Should the deprecation date be noted with the deprecation to easily see? =E2=80=93 There is no policy for updating packages through major versions, = IMO this should be the same as deleting and the previous version should be kept for a while, at least for the time for dependencies to update upstream. >+If the package being removed is a ``leaf'' (no other packages depend on >+it), it may be removed after a @b{one-month review period} of the patch >+removing it (this applies even when the removal has additional >+motivations such as security problems affecting the package). =E2=80=93 Why do =C2=AB=C2=A0leaves=C2=A0=C2=BB get removed at all? The dep= endents could be users that installed it in their profiles or manifests, one month seems very low. Overall it makes sense so thanks again for documenting this, No=C3=A9 PS: RFCs don=E2=80=99t get announced to guix-devel? I only found out about = this from mastodon.
