LGTM!
> +Our first major achievement is the replacement of of GCC, the GNU C Library
> +and Binutils by MesCC-Tools (a simple hex linker and macro assembler) and Mes
> +(a Scheme interpreter and a C99 compiler in Scheme). Neither MesCC-Tools nor
> +Mes can be fully bootstrapped yet and thus we inject them as binary seeds. We
> +call this the Reduced Binary Seed bootstrap, as it has halved the size of our

> +and x86_64-linux GuixSD are now bootstrapped without any binary C compiler.
s/GuixSD/Guix packages/
Perhaps add an @pxref for Mes?
> +Work is ongoing to make MesCC-Tools and Mes fully bootstrappable and we are

I still can’t believe this is a reality, awesome!! :-)
