Like others I don't understand how these concerns relate to Guix. I'm sad you decided to leave the Guix project – which is about to become reality – due to some "visionary" point which I consider to not related to Guix. It's a bit like not helping people to get drinking water since they have the vision to make their own Coke. Anyway, it's your decision. -- Regards Hartmut Goebel | Hartmut Goebel | h.goebel@crazy-compilers.com | | www.crazy-compilers.com | compilers which you thought are impossible |
