Policy to remove obsolete packages

Hi Guix, on Guix-Days we had no more time in the QA track to talk about obsolete packages. In the FOSDEM-talk by Frederic Crozat (SuSE) about Distributions, he mentioned their approach which I find good to adapt: If a package is broken for more than 6 months, we should just remove it from Guix.

Hi, during GuixDays we said that we want to start getting into production mode with video documentations. Ludo, would you please create a new git repository for that purpose? Must the commits to this repository be signed? That would then mean that Laura needs access to it: Laura, you need to reg

Re: FOSDEM 2019: Thank you!

I'm sorry I missed the Guix days, it seems like it was quite an event! But all the Guile stuff in the minimalist languages room was great. Clearly 2018 was a great year for Guile and Guix... I'll place a bet that 2019 will be just as great or better :) Pjotr Prins writes: > Thank you everyone for
