Perhaps I was unclear, but I really think this is a complicated issue!

While there are a lot of updates in guix which are arguably not
copyrightable, there are definitely significant portions which
are... figuring out which is which is a non-trivial task...

I would argue keeping all the *years* is certainly not needed, but
removing copyright lines without the consent of the copyright holder is
on the questionable side...

Removing *all* of the copyright lines would almost certainly be wrong...
