I've also read Andy Wingos blog, and he has some very good points there. Nevertheless, the statement on the GNU project should not have been published on the guix-devel mailing list, rather gnu-system- discuss. And the timing is very bad, in the light of RMS being hunted by social media non-journalists, causing him to FSF and MIT, it is extremely harmful for Free Software Development in general. Please, moderate yourselves (all of you), please!
