Hi Tobias,

I would not say it is orthogonal because renaming would not have been
enough, at least for me, in order to get the difference with ’inherit’.
For sure, it is a real trap. :-) For instance,
$ git log --grep='package/inherit' --oneline | grep use
5f83dd03a2 gnu: kodi/wayland: Do not use package/inherit.
6ecf88a6a1 gnu: poppler-next: Don't use 'package/inherit'.
5a5b729d66 gnu: abseil-cpp: Don't use 'package/inherit'.
dbcf2b61b1 gnu: Fix erroneous uses of 'package/inherit'.
2f97a666a5 gnu: python-urllib3: Don't use 'package/inherit' on replacement package.
4163b6d855 gnu: avahi: Don't use package/inherit.
and in the light of this discussion, 5f83dd03a2 seems incorrect, no?
Well, I agree that naming is important and probably the most difficult
task. :-)
Do we go for renaming + deprecated? Then do we apply the rename to all
occurrences in Guix?
Cheers,
simon
