It's a bit of a stretch, but in a sense Guix is a bit top down, if you 
count Guix itself (and the reviewers, committeres, etc. as a while) as 
'top' and individual patch submitters as 'down'.  OTOH with Guix doesn't 
make decisions on what individual people should work on, only on the 
rules that the results should follow and there is no effort allocation, 
so possibly this is not the kind of 'top-down' that the video was 
referring to.
