There is a difference between “advertise” and “part of the history”.
Do not take me wrong. The right to be forgotten is one topic. However,
as many people are saying: it is not an easy question. There is legal
questions, technical questions, social questions, etc.
For what it is worth, Guix is built around the concept of immutability.
This is a core concept and deep in Guix internals.
Therefore, it would be more constructive if you come with a
proof-of-concept allowing “history rewrite” and strong “software
identification” property [1]. Else, the discussion is leading nowhere,
IMHO.
