Not sure.  GuixSD is clearly a departure from =E2=80=9Ctraditional Unix.=E2=
=80=9D  I
agree that we have to work to make this acceptable and intelligible to
those used to traditional Unix.

That said, what it brings, notably reproducible system deployments with
=E2=80=98guix system=E2=80=99, would hopefully be considered a selling poin=
t to system
administrators used to the imperative way.

Thanks,
