Thank you for the information. I see that west is packaged in gnu/packages/embedded.scm, but the only reference to platformio is an emacs plugin which I suspect is not what you are referring to. So it sounds like there is no particular reason to process this patch immediately but it makes sense to leave open because it might be used down the line.
