But it is greetd that does, no?  If there are other greeting mechanisms
currently packaged in Guix falling short of this, please do tell.

It is not really a problem, but an observation.  I personally think a
single series that has both patches would have been more visible than
this thing split across three topics for two patches.  There is a small
overhead if you have to consider merges and blocks, even if debbugs
supports them.

Cheers
