Having a quick look at (gnu > packagages ruby), very few packages still depend on 2.7.
it has been a very long time that I kept your message in my inbox, but I finally got back to it - cheers to email based workflows! I have just submitted a patch to remove ruby@2.6: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/77289 Unfortunately it seems to entail a rebuild of ruby@2.7 (and its thousands of dependencies); an unintended consequence of removing inheritance, or a mistake in my copy-pasting of field values? ruby@3.0 could also be dropped, and ruby@3.2 has only one dependent package, which maybe could be made to depend on ruby@3.3 instead. Moving the dependents of ruby@2.7 to depend on ruby@3 instead would be nice, but maybe is a Herculean work. Andreas
