(body
(en "The linux-libre 5.4 kernel series is no longer supported
upstream and will be removed from GNU Guix soon:
https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html
This kernel series was first added to Guix in 2019 by Mark Weaver, at version
5.4.5. After ~297 updates delivered to Guix users, we have deployed the final
update, 5.4.302.
The next kernel series removals are scheduled for December 2026, when the Linux
long-term support team is planning to stop supporting four different kernel
series: 6.12, 6.6, 5.15, and 5.10.")))
