Héllo,

AFAIU guix does hardcode the dependencies so that to know the dependencies
one has onlytocrawl the dependency DAG using a BFS or something. I don't
know what is the exact part in guix that does that. It's only my 
understanding.

What about having apt-like dependency resolution, also like npm where 
version
are specified in terms of "superior to", "equal to" taking advantage of 
semantic
versionning?

tx!
