While I agree with this statement, I also think that Swedebugia's idea of comparing the number of Guix-ported packages of an ecosystem with the total number of packages in this ecosystem is interesting. Couldn't something like #+begin_src sh guix ecosystem pypi #+end_src which would retrieve the number of packages on pypi, compute the number of pypi packages defined for Guix and output some statistics be done?
