In Guix we don't have a package of ImageMagick 7, and the upstream
developers continue supporting "legacy" ImageMagick 6. We have packaged
ImageMagick 7 in the past at least once.
Basically, if we want to use version 7, we should do some tests to
ensure that packages using ImageMagick are compatible. Unfortunately
ImageMagick uses a so-called "command-line API" so it's not simple to
check compatibility. The easiest way would be to wait for the upstream
developers of packages that use ImageMagick to announce compaitibility
(maybe some of them have already done this, I don't know).
