+1.  Thanks for taking care of that, it had bothered me as well.

I’m not familiar with Lash, but based on your description, I’d be in
favor of removing it entirely, and definitely for removing it from GTK.

Remove lash

[Ricardo Wurmus]

Hi Guix,

on a modern Guix System with Gnome we’re pulling in Python 2.  That’s
because gtk uses lash, and lash (last commit was 14 years ago) comes
with Python bindings — for Python 2.

I’d like to propose one of the following steps:

- remove lash completely
- build lash without Python bindings, removing python2
- remove lash from fluidsynth, thereby removing it from the gtk closure

What do you think?
