I'm currently in the process of applying my own checklist, see
<https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/51838/raw/352>

Each of my fixup commits is a change on top of Philip's corresponding
commit (or at least I hope so, I haven't squashed them yet) and delete-
dependencies.patch shows the savings in the rest of the series.  I so
far successfully built node-irc and node-serialport with these changes
applied on top.

It'll take some time to check the rest of the toplevel packages and
thereafter I'll squash and cleanup commit messages.

So from my position, everything is about to be done.  Should I resend
this as v8 for a complete check that I'm not doing anything harmful or
should I go ahead and commit once I'm done?

Cheers
