Subject: Proposal: Separate the guix repo

Currently it's taking me 1~4 hours (depending on the system without
outsourcing the load on high performance system) to build the guix
repository in order to be able to test the contribution and contribute
as such i am proposing to take an inspiration from Exherbo Linux and
separate the repositories, see https://gitlab.exherbo.org/exherbo

I believe that this approach has multiple advantages:
1. Significantly lower resource requirements to make a contribution
2. Better management as issue tracking can be done per repository and
enable developers who are comfortable in specified programming language
to focus on contributions there
3. It saves resources for automation as language and workflow specific
automation can have more specific trigger thus saving processing resources.
4. Cleaner git history
5. Faster system deployment as the user can specify that they don't need
e.g. engineering packages on their system
6. Much cleaner code as the packages would be separat
ed to be less
overwhelming (to reduce the files with thousands lines)
