Partial answer at
   https://portal.hdfgroup.org/display/support/HDF5+1.8.23 :
"Future of HDF5-1.8
Please be aware that this will be the last release for HDF5 1.8.
We encourage users to move to HDF5 1.10 or HDF5 1.14. Please refer to
the release schedule for future releases of these versions."

The schedule at
   https://github.com/HDFGroup/hdf5#release-schedule
shows that 1.10 and 1.12 should see their last release this autumn,
so probably we should really move to 1.14.

$ guix refresh -l hdf5 <at> 1.8
Building the following 9 packages would ensure 16 dependent packages are rebuilt: pigx-sars-cov-2 <at> 0.0.9 pigx <at> 0.0.3 nip2 <at> 8.7.1 python-pyvips <at> 2.2.1 gnss-sdr <at> 0.0.17 hdf-eos5 <at> 1.15 scilab <at> 5.5.0 hdf-java <at> 3.3.2 h5check <at> 2.0.1

$ guix refresh -l hdf5 <at> 1.10
Building the following 210 packages would ensure 411 dependent packages are rebuilt:
...

$ guix refresh -l hdf5 <at> 1.12
No dependents other than itself: hdf5 <at> 1.12.2
So this could probably be dropped immediately.

$ guix refresh -l hdf5 <at> 1.14
Building the following 2 packages would ensure 2 dependent packages are rebuilt: ecl-hdf5-cffi <at> 1.8.18-1.5b5c88f cl-hdf5-cffi <at> 1.8.18-1.5b5c88f

I suppose that the many dependencies on 1.10 come from the definition of
the variable hd5 as hdf5-10; it is quite possible we could simply upgrade
this to hdf5-14. Someone™ should give it a try...
