Well, I do not use any of these packages, so I would not mind much.
But, I know some users who use this one for instance and I would like to
avoid them some breakage.

What is the rationale for removing this variable?  Or the others, BTW.

Well, I understand the “being deprecated” and I agree it would be nice
to clean up.  Thanks for this janitoring work. :-)

However, I would first announce such clean up, via guix-devel and/or
news, maybe info-guix, let some time, say one or two months, and after
proceed.

For what my opinion is worth.

Cheers,
simon
