Something like: 1. Blog post. Something like that [1], a bit extended with a Migration section. 2. A news (guix pull --news) announcing the sunset date. And probably pointing to the blog post (or elsewhere) for helping the migration. 3. Optionally emit a warning when the daemon is “too” old. I agree that the extra space can be annoying. In the same time, user experience matters more, IMHO. Cheers, simon 1: https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2022/sunsetting-gzip-substitutes-availability/
