Well, the process for API change could be: 1. + submit to guix-patches, + in the same time, announce to guix-devel; so people not subscribed to guix-patches can chime. 2. + after 2 weeks, or consensus, merge the change, + in the same time, announce to guix-devel, info-guix and --news. There is no extra burden and it smooths the change for many users, IMHO. WDYT? Cheers, simon
