I agree with that: a free program that someone finds useful is welcome. So far we haven=E2=80=99t made any judgment based on the feature set, design choices, or popularity of the package being submitted. That=E2=80=99s some= thing 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=E2=80=99.
