Yes, that’s why I pushed wip-pyyaml and had ci.guix.gnu.org build it.
On IRC I asked whether it could be merged after it had finished and I
had fixed obvious problems.  Then I waited a few days, asked again, and
eventually rebased, built it out again, and merged.

It’s hard to compare failures across branches with cuirass, and it is
now obvious that I missed a few new failures.

I really don’t think that upgrading something as lowly as pyyaml
deserves to be put on core-updates along with all the world-breaking
upgrades.  pyyaml 6 came out in Oct 2021, and the changelog compared to
the last 5.x release is *very* short:

  https://github.com/yaml/pyyaml/blob/master/CHANGES#L7

Perhaps we can just change packages that want version 5 and relax their
requirements.

I don’t think that’s a better idea than fixing what’s broken.

Aria Maestosa seems to have been abandoned.

Fixed.

The current version is 2.4.1.  1.29.2 is from May 2021.

There have been no successful builds since at least January 2022
according to https://ci.guix.gnu.org/build/617429/details
