I've discovered Guix a few weeks ago and it is becoming the easiest way for me to deploy the latest versions of some programs at home and $DAY_JOB, where machines with various flavors of GNU/Linux are used. I haven't looked at GuixSD too deeply. Are you trying to use s6 as init system for a Guix-based set-up? If so, I'll post a patch to add s6-rc [1], the service manager for s6-based systems, to complete the skarnet stack. Note that the author of s6 only provides mechanisms for managing services, not policies. So, you'll still need to write the later. You may find more information and examples in my attempt to use s6 as init for embedded systems [2].
