Cloud/VMs. It could work, but I don't think it is a large group we can pitch to. > | user/developer/researcher | x | | productivity tool This is my favorite because they are potential packagers. > | generic organizational user | ? | | ? | Yes, another target group, i.e., the pointy haired boss.

I think OpenWRT/LEDE, for example, could buy into Guix. And then there is Android. If we are able to strip down packages to a minimum that becomes very interesting to them. Then we have HPC as a specialization with optimized targets and relocatable packages. And light containers for webservice/cloud deployments... Pj. --
