I think we should clarify "embeded" here. The size Guix itself
comes with is far from ready (probably never, not in the near future)
for real embeded devices. I think you all understand what we mean
when embeded is mentioned here.
Let's call them "small devices", and celebrate once someone in our
community manages to make Guix run on an actual embeded device with less
than 1MB. Even on my routers at home this is an impossible thing at the
moment.
Of course it would be great to have at some point, even if it would just
be a Proof of Concept.
