Hi. To begin, thank you for your work on GNU!
I use Guix package manager (manually installed) atop Debian bullseye.
My Emacs is from Guix package emacs-next with a package transformation
option to pull from current Git master. When I tried to use the new
emoji commands on the "C-x 8e" prefix, I was getting an error message
(sorry for not having written it down) mentioning transient. I solved
it by modifying Guix recipes to not pull emacs-transient as propagated
input of some Emacs packages I installed via Guix.
So, why do many Emacs packages still pull emacs-transient, when Guix has
Emacs version 28.1, which has Transient built-in? This redundancy
wastes (a little bit of) bandwidth, install time and disk space, and,
worse, causes errors.
Regards
