As I don't (currently) use Guix on anything but x86_64-linux, I know I am biased in wanting to allow for more speed and momentum. However, I worry that moving like that would risk making thing unmaintainable for other architectures as they get left behind/have unnoticed issues, which I wouldn't want to impose either. So, the practical question is what we have resources for and that users can rely on. Definitely x86_64, i686 too so far (though we are quickly becoming the only distro), and then after...? Whatever we decide we should clearly communicate this on the website and manual. And if we do allow for other architectures to fall behind in coverage, I hope that is temporary until we have more hardware to provide similar support. John
