Woow, quite a piece of work! Is this based on Marius’ earlier work?
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2018-04/msg00001.html
The policy for Guix is to accept free software packages; this one
clearly fits the bill.
Now, it would be unusable, unless/until Guix System supports systemd (an
option I do not support). For example, ‘guix install systemd’ wouldn’t
be of any use, right?
All in all, with my co-maintainer hat on, it seems to me that the
maintenance cost would be high (because it’s a large piece of software
that evolves very quickly), for a package that’d be practically
unusable, so I’d lean towards not including it.
WDYT?
Thanks,
Ludo’.
