For what it's worth I didn't read it that way.

I use PowerShell and have spent some time looking into what it would
take to build .NET Core [1] in Guix. It uses expat license [2] & would
unblock lots of useful software, including PowerShell.

There's a developer guide [3] with build instructions. It seems like it
ought to be doable.

If you want to get PowerShell into Guix I support that goal (with any
patches necessary to remove telemetry & any nonfree bits, of course) and
would be happy to provide assistance and encouragement. I think
packaging Core CLR and the .NET Core tools is the first step there.

Cheers,
Ryan
