Perhaps what we could do is ship it along with Guix, mention it in the =E2=80=9CBinary Installation=E2=80=9D section,= and yet keep the text of the instructions in that section, so that users have the choice of using the script (and understanding what it does), or following the instructions. Thoughts? Ludo=E2=80=99.
