I recall dicussing this topic area with you last year:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2021-06/msg00080.html
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2021-06/msg00082.html
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2021-06/msg00083.html
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2021-06/msg00084.html
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2021-06/msg00085.html
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2021-06/msg00086.html

Im pleased that the Hyperbola community has been making strides.

Hopefully I can one day have an OpenBSD kernel overseeing Guix SD.


Kind regards,


Jonathan McHugh
