An issue is that GNOME now depends on Java:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix graph gnome --path icedtea
gnome@42.4
font-abattis-cantarell@0.303
python-cffsubr@0.2.9.post1
python-afdko@3.9.1
antlr4@4.10.1
antlr3@3.5.2
antlr2@2.7.7
icedtea@3.19.0
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

It is great to have ‘font-abattis-cantarell’ built from source (since
commit 97766323bc6e2b4dcfba4d6b46749a4280bca709), but it’s costly.

There’s probably not much we can do, unless the python-afdko -> icedtea
dependency is optional.

Ideas?
