Mark H Weaver 写道：

Yesterday, an obscure package called "t" was added to Guix. We should reject such short package names in Guix unless there's a very compelling

reason to keep them.

I completely agree (in fact I can't compel myself to find excusable exceptions), but this wasn't explicitly documented anywhere I looked.

Kind regards,

My point is: I am not even sure that “r” should be whitelisted.

I think it deserves the name, but my reasons are fuzzy and feely. Anyway: I added that exception for ‘r’ and pushed as 1126bb9cf33f10f004a5f53331389c777c025e75 et al.

Kind regards,
