I think it’s a reasonable maintenance burden though, since it’s fairly independent, it rarely changes, and you can always copy updated versions from Guix when you want to. That said, I agree it’s not ideal, and we should look towards making it a standalone library. I’m a bit reluctant to doing that just yet because it’s convenient in Guix to be able to adjust it when we need it. Thanks, Ludo’.
