Sure, that's why at the end of the message I replied with what, to my
understanding, are inclusion criteria for guix (and why I said that,
except for analytics, it is probably ok for it to be included).

I hope so, that's the base of communication.  If my message seemed
harsh, I'm really sorry about it.  I was not attacking neither Yasu nor
the software (if powershell is cool, freedom respecting and libre, then
let's add it).  But still, a sane level of suspicion against Microsoft
itself is due.

I just felt it was not ok to talk about "IT worker rights", referring to
a product by a company that is and always has been so hostile with us, a
company that does everything to take away our rights (that's why I asked
clarifications on this point).

I'll be more careful with my wordings,
@Yasu: I'm sorry if you felt attacked or something, my fault
