We also have an allegro-4.0 variable; is this one not vulnerable?
5.2.6).

If it is removable easily, we should remove it yes. I might have
forgotten this one.

They are indeed unsupported versions, I reported that upstream in
which confirmed that these versions won't receive security patches.

Indeed there's still a package depending on allegro-4 (aseprite). I
think that's the reason why I didn't consider updating it back then.
The issue is that the new version of aseprite seems nonfree (restricts
freedom to share the software, and the freedom to collaborate on the
software).

IMO we should remove both. Users can still use time-machine if they
really want to use that version, or submit a new version of aseprite in
nonguix. WDYT?

Sounds reasonable. We now have a package removal police (info
'(guix)Deprecation Policy'). For leaf packages, it's as easy as sending
a patch removing a package for review, and giving it one month before
merging it, to let time for anyone to voice their opinion.
