I need to extract those which are suited for Guix. There's also "issues" I still need to think about more in depth, occasionally I have (offline) discussions with people about this. For example: There are operating systems which support booting multiple architectures from one Live USB, to my knowledge only compatible architectures. The last discussion happened so long ago that I need to gather sources for that (example OS'?). etc.
