Two LTS versions are supported (currently 6.0 and 7.0) and bugfixes are backported > there for 5 years. I think it would be preferable to have one LTS version in Guix.

Personally, I don't think it makes sense to commit to maintaining there separate versions. It seems like a really big committment. -- Ricardo
