For sure, it is a real trap. :-) For instance, $ git log --grep=3D'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 replacem= ent 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
