Sure, I didn't mean I was ignored, I just wanted to say that I got the same thought about those arguments as Maxim. >> ... but I think the include/exclude arguments need to be duplicated in >> two places.

As I said, I think this duplication can be avoided simply by removing the values of 'include'/'exclude' arguments from 'install' procedures of (guix build emacs-build-system) module. > Even the gnu-build-system duplicates default values of arguments. I don't know about gnu-build-system, but I don't see a reason to have these values in 'install' procedure of emacs-build-system. -- Alex
