Like Josselin, I prefer to keep the mention that the tarball archive includes the transitive dependencies of Guix (it's explicit; "archived binaries" is a bit vague to my taste). As for the Linux or Hurd-based system, that seems like a good idea to make things explicit. I've pushed your adjusted suggestions with commit ec9c8b0c1a. Thank you! -- Maxim
