I think it=E2=80= =99s more efficient than emails to info-guix in that regard. The project has yet to define a clear deprecation policy, and I hope maintainers can spearhead such an effort. In the meantime, removing things that have been deprecated for 22+ months in this case sounds reasonable to me. Ludo=E2=80=99.
