It’s a clever way to remind me (and other interested Guile committers)
of how late we are when it comes to patch review.
I’d rather avoid carrying this many patches in a package, be it Guile or
anything else; that’s not something we usually do.
Instead, I would prefer to actually review and apply the patches
upstream. I’ve been meaning to do that, really, but it requires a chunk
of time and focus, which keeps leading me to postpone.
Is the latest patch set on guile-devel? It’s not mentioned at
<https://issues.guix.gnu.org/46258>.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
