I definitely support more package-splitting and dependency tree-shaking
where possible. Getting a core Guix System down to Alpine size would be
fantastic.
For example, `docker size python` shows a 171.4mb bundle size just for
Python alone, while `docker images python:alpine` shows a 44.3mb system
image, which includes a bunch of system stuff in addition to Python. It
would be great to have tools to understand what's in our big Guix
packages and how we could ship light bundles that get the job done.
