As discussed on IRC, I wonder if changing <hurd/paths.h> is a good idea
because it’s captured by libc, etc. So it could have the effect of
forcing all the applications to refer to /gnu/store/…-old-hurd instead
of using the (typically more up-to-date) /hurd.
It could also lead to setting /gnu/store/…-old-hurd as passive
translator settings, which would be very bad because
/gnu/store/…-old-hurd could be GC’d (the GC doesn’t scan passive
translator settings and probably never will).
Thanks,
Ludo’.
