This was informally discussed in #guix with Ludovic as a follow-up to
the services cleanup. (tracked at #61789)
The idea is to shed pre-1.3.0 deprecated code from Guix to reduce the
overall maintenance burden. Given the age of the release and the warnings, I assume
most users/maintainers would have taken notice and applied updates.
(no actual package definitions have been removed, only their old aliases)
These variables were found by grep + git blame'ing the files and combing the output
to ensure that only pre-1.3.0 variables were considered.
Cheers,
Bruno
