Hi, I'd suggest keeping Tryton at 6.0 to retain compatibility with GNU Health, which tracks only the LTS versions of Tryton (minor versions at 0).

To clarify a little further, GNU Health [1] (to keep it short, it is a set of health-related tryton modules) is not yet packaged in Guix. I did attempt to package it but got stuck in test errors in the check phase. The Tryton release process is explained in [2]. Normal releases have one year of support, while LTS releases have 5 years. Tryton has a huge package ecosystem and is mostly used in enterprise where LTS is more important. Tracking non-LTS releases would mean huge and breaking upgrades at least every year. Also 6.2 will be EOL in 3 months [2]. [1] https://www.gnuhealth.org/ [2] https://discuss.tryton.org/t/release-process/395

For the records: I just created https://issues.guix.gnu.org/56733 „Tryton LTS“ as a follow-up on this topic.
Thanks for the review. I now pushed it as 62bee0a915ca15dadfc584d7f619f546f5f1256b with updated packages in one commit.
