Where does the ‘him’ come from?  I don't think I've ever implied that
pronoun.

Also, while making a VM, installing some OS, downloading a binary
inside and running it inside, is definitely technically possible, I
consider it time better spent doing other things with a (to me) higher
value / cost (e.g. reviewing a package definition for ld50-silent-
syphoon, investigating actual bugs(*), some infrastructure patches
...).

(*) Only binaries made from within Guix can feasibly be supported by
Guix, though some separate entities aim to support this to some degree.

Greetings,
Maxime.
