Nasty stuff are not only already existing packages, but also outdated
versions thereof.  If there are heavily customized versions or packages
not yet included in Guix, then those can be left in (but with a
remark!), though in the long term it would be better to make those
packages work with upstream versions rather than require specific
tweaking.

The other thing I already mentioned are binaries, which upstream seems
also aware about, see e.g.
