50% goes into Guix modules. There’s prolly room for improvement because
the ‘guix-COMMIT-modules’, which is #1, is actually the union of all the
other guix-*-modules.
> There's gcc in there, which is the second most important contributor after guix-*-modules (150 MB). It's referenced by gcc-toolchain, itself only referenced by the guile-wrapper we build in (guix self). Can we get rid of it?
I think you fixed that one in 319b8331b2357e12ec9edb9665513c32bef56622.

> There are three versions of guile (50 MB each). Can we settle for only one?
I think that’s (@ (gnu packages commencement) guile-final), guile-3.0,
and guile-3.0-latest. However I see only two of them here.

Fixed this one in commit d418031a8cbdea4e2bc5c52ea1b29ad369579bae.
But then, ‘guile-3.0’ being the default, it’s used in a number of
places, like:

I can’t think of a good solution to this.

That’s probably due to the fact that there are multiple Guile variants;
annoying.
It’s worth keeping in mind that thanks to deduplication, this costs much
less than it seems in terms of disk space, but it does cost in terms of
bandwidth usage.
Thanks,
