Ludo? It was used for 5.3 (commit e3d0fcbf7e55e8cbe8d0a1c5a24d73f341d7243b, which the commit above reinstated; see ) but useless in 5.4. So yes, can be removed! Except for this one: > gnu/packages/patches/readline-7.0-mingw.patch: Introduced in > ae12d586275cdd96db23fb01bf840b2055b5b979, but never used.
