Quoting Nicolas Rougier: the nice aspect of Python 2 being out of
maintenance is that we now have a performant language for scientific
computing that is guaranteed not to change any more :-)

Maybe we should rename guix-past to guix-slow-science, or guix-long-now
(in reference to the Long Now Foundation)?

Cheers,
  Konrad.
