At this point there would likely be no benefit to Guix from a new
release of GNU Classpath, unless it would result in a shortening of the
bootstrap chain.

A new release that combines the properties (=3D build requirements and
supported target language version) of 0.93, 0.99, and the later devel
version would probably allow us to shorten the bootstrap some more.  But
as it stands we=E2=80=99re happy with these historic releases as they serve=
 us
well.
