I would like it if it's kept.  Though, if it is truly meant to track the
"next" release of Emacs, it should be pointed at the `emacs-27' branch,
as there will likely be one or more point releases in the 27 series.

On the other hand, as an Emacs developer, I would appreciate having a
package that tracks `master' that I could use.  Perhaps emacs-trunk
would be a more appropriate name for that package.  I know it's not
typical for guix.git to contain package definitions that point to
non-release commits; but perhaps Emacs could be an exception to that.

Thoughts?
