Yeah, what Eric describes is the reason. And then (guix scripts refresh) has this =E2=80=98maybe-updater=E2=80=99 macro that checks whether= a given import depends on a missing optional dependency. Given that JSON is used a lot, we might eventually make Guile-JSON a mandatory dependency. We could also push David Thompson to update the (ice-9 json) module and have it in Guile proper. :-) Ludo=E2=80=99.
