it’s frustrating to get the feeling to be misunderstood.  But 
please take a step back before judging others.  “selfish agenda” 
sounds a lot harsher than is warranted in this context.

Some background: Guix implements a philosophy that could be 
described as “magic with escape hatches”.  We usually offer neat 
features and automation by *default*, but we also provide escape 
hatches for those who don’t want the magic or have different 
requirements.  The expectation to have EXWM start right up after 
selecting it as a window manager is justified, in my opinion.  Do 
we offer a sufficient escape hatch here?
