Re: Qt in core-updates

In the context of security problems and package removal, I just noticed (by "./pre-inst-env guix package -A ^qt") that we still have a qtwebkit package. The latest release dates from 2020, and this also the last release, if I understand correctly that the project has been abandoned. However:

Guix, Nix flakes, and object capabilities
