The deployability dream is what originally drew me to Guix, and then
GuixSD. Originally I was planning on something separate, Guile based
but able to deploy Debian and etc type systems.
Un/fortunately I think the main advantage to Guix as a deployment system
seems to be if you're really going "all out" and can reproducibly build
the whole thing with it.
Otherwise, what can you do? I guess you could still build *some*
configuration, like apache configs and etc, but you'd still need to set
up your base system to know to point at the current profile, or whatever
you'd do...
