Hello!

(Cc: kernel =E2=80=9Cteam=E2=80=9D.  I=E2=80=99m guessing that the whole te=
am may well
unanimously welcome you on board.  :-))

Marius Bakke <marius@gnu.org> skribis:

> The kernel is tailored towards server workloads running on a VPS, but
> should work fine as a default for "guix system vm", etc.

For a second I wondered whether we should change
=E2=80=98virtualized-operating-system=E2=80=99 to put it in the =E2=80=98ke=
rnel=E2=80=99 field
unconditionally.  But it=E2=80=99s probably not a good idea because we have
system tests targeting specific kernels, and because users may want to
test =E2=80=9Cactual=E2=80=9D kernels in QEMU.

Wo0t!

You may want a better-informed opinion on the linux-libre bits, but
otherwise LGTM!
