Hi Maxime,I disagree. I believe we shouldn't let perfect be the enemy of the good. I haven't sent patches to Guix in quite some time, but I've never felt roadblocked like this and it is concerning to me.
It's almost trivial to implement 'the perfect' here, almost no more effort than your partial solution; there is no "perfect enemy of the good" situation here -- "perfect enemy of the good" only applies when "the perfect" is significantly harder / more effort than "the good", but that's not the case here.
Given that a proper fix is very easy, simple and low-effort and furthermore, it is even known what form the proper fix would take (see: extra field, + adjust procedure in (gnu build activation) slightly), there aren't any roadblocks except for an apparent refusal by you to invest a little extra effort.
If you genuinely find it actually hard to implement, please tell so and I can give you some pointers on what procedures appear to be need to be modified. Currently, your response appears to be made in bad faith t me.
Greetings, Maxime
