As I wrote in another message before reaching this one, my understanding
is that “we” now have to take over maintenance of Emacs-Guix.  As part
of that process, we can discuss what interfaces would be useful to
Emacs-Guix and arrange to keep them stable.

I think we can do more if the two are developed hand in hand.  Let’s see
what we can achieve!
