Yes, that sounds like a good plan. With the long-term goal of moving python2 itself to guix-past, if it ever ceases to be an important dependency (which I am not yet convinced of). > The attached script lists unused ‘python2-’ leaf packages: ... > Are these good candidates for removal? These and more: once they are removed, there will be a new set of leaf packages. It might be worth checking if there is a Python 3 equivalent before removing a library. But in the majority of cases there is. zimoun <zimon.touto...@gmail.com> writes: > Starting with e13ab46c2052609c4ad792aeb304a752b50d034e, I remove the > broken leaf Python2 packages.

More are coming. ;-) It certainly makes sense to remove broken packages, but for the rest I'd say guix-past is a better destination than the trashcan. Cheers, Konrad
