| Three of these are just generic HTTP client libraries. [GNU Guile](https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/) is apparently a programming language, so most likely this is also a generic user-agent from a custom user program. |

These downloads may be from GNU Guix, which is similar to Nix. It uses the Guille Lisp implementation as language to define build recipes in.

interesting, thanks for the context. I assume that means that potentially some of these build recipes would have to be fixed to use the canonical names?

I presume so. I don't use Guix myself, so you may want to ask someone who does or one of the Guix devs: https://guix.gnu.org/en/contribute/

As discussed in the crates.io team meeting last week, we would like to sunset support for "non-canonical downloads" on crates.io. This blog post officially deprecates it with a cutoff date roughly a month from now.
