It is. node-mersenne uses node-build-system, which has node (or
node-lts, dunno) in its implicit inputs.
Did you mean: 'Why isn't node propagated?'
For the same reasons as why any plugins don't propagate the thing they
are plugging in, and why any library doesn't propagate its interpreter:
* There is more than one implementation, how would Guix know which one
you'd like?
* Propagation stops you from separately updating the library and the
interpreter (with "guix package -u this-package", or time machines,
or defining a package variant). (Actually, "guix package -u
this-package" will ‘succeed’ because collision detection is disabled
IIUC, but you can't decide which one wins)
* ???
Also, see my answer on 'Is there really a use case for shipping ...’.
