When modifying another distro, we're somewhat bound to their package
manager, upstream package recipes, choice of init system, etc.
Substantial changes are always possible, but generally unwanted as far
as I can tell. E.g. if Debian goes with systemd, so will gNewSense.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
In Guixotic, GNU has control over init system, package manager, package
recipes, etc., which is substantially more than the alternatives.
