I know, but to be fair, we aren't the only ones behind on the Python
removal. Python 2 is very much a zombie at this point, still kept
alive by other (mostly dead, but some live) projects that people rely
on for various reasons.

Using this plan as a starting point, I think renpy counts as a non-
variant package relying on some python2-variant.

Fair enough, I could open up a merge request to have renpy in Guix Past
"ahead of time", but OTOH I feel like `guix time-machine` offers
similar benefits. If we're going to *mirror* python packages, because
they will soon be broken, I think it would also be a good idea to start
from python2 instead of leaf packages.

Leo
