| 2016-03-24 | emacs: Deprecate "guix-init.el"....'guix-init' served 2 purposes:
- to autoload guix commands (by requiring 'guix-autoloads');
- and to autoload Emacs packages installed with Guix (by requiring
'guix-emacs').
The second purpose is not actual anymore, as Emacs package handles this
task now, so there is no need in 'guix-init' anymore.
* emacs/guix-init.el: Do not require 'guix-emacs'. Add a deprecation
message.

is to blame, had become unnecessary since commit
