Yes, it is a rather intrusive change of our python world, requiring
rebuilding of everything that uses python. As noted above, you can use
something like time-machine for older guix with working poetry or use
a local copy with those patches for a newer one. Either will likely
require some local rebuilding.

Anyway, yes, I was distracted with other matters but have just
finished merging mesa-updates which took a bit longer than expected.
I'm not expert on these more internal python and python packaging
matters, so help is welcome. I will work on reviving this next though.
