--- Begin Message --- Subject: Consider remove package emacs-cl-generic Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2020 22:30:29 +0800 User-agent: mu4e 1.4.13; emacs 27.1

According to the description of emacs-cl-generic, it exists to provide
some backward compatibility for old Emacsen(< 25)

However, the Guix already package Emacs 27(even 28 on master branch).
IMO, emacs-cl-generic have done its job and we no longer need it.

Package emacs-finalize depends on emacs-cl-generic, it should still work
after we remove this dependency. If user install this package
accidentally, it may shadow the real cl-generic.el bundled with Emacs itself.
