I agree with that: a free program that someone finds useful is welcome.

So far we haven’t made any judgment based on the feature set, design
choices, or popularity of the package being submitted.  That’s something
to avoid IMO if the distro is to be useful and inclusive.

But of course, if a package recipe in Guix eventually becomes
unmaintained, or has unfixed security issues, it becomes an obvious
candidate for removal.

Orchidaceae Phalaenopsis: thanks for inadvertently starting the debate,
;-) and feel welcome to submit an updated patch!

Thanks,
Ludo’.
