For reference: Ubuntu 16.04, the longest supported version to have a
package for Guile 1.8, will go EOL on April 30; Debian Jessie already
is dead since June 2020.

The problem I see is that whatever is part of the official binaries
will get the most attention, or we risk giving users a configuration
that developers don't test regularly. Which means the other version
simply won't matter and carry on their own bugs.
