That's probably a wrong statement.  rde creates, integrates and
innovates a bunch of good tools, tests and often upstreams them;
contributes back a lot of changes and packages, popularizes and
encriches guix and neighbour ecosystems and helps to finish stale
projects/issues in guix mailing lists, ranging from Wayland, Emacs,
Pipewire, iwd related to Tree-sitter, Guix Home and couple other
non-trivial thing.

rde definetly benifit from all the great work done in Guix, but it's
kinda offensive to say that it's one-way street.

I guess this one I've already sent to you an year ago is still true:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
    However, I perfectly understand the reasons for Guix System style
    services and respect your descion and desire to stick with them.  I
    mentioned that I'll maintain already existing rde style services in rde
    and it won't make sense for me to upstream most of them from rde to
    Guix, because it will mean almost complete rewrite for them.

    And this is another reason I don't participate in development of home
    services, because it will mean double or even triple work for me,
    however I keep an eye on patches you send, in most cases someone jumps
    in earlier with review, so I don't bother you with my comments. But
    development of Guix Home itself and the rest of Guix is a part of my
    interests.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I do want to get CCed on general Guix Home topics, I'm ok with getting
CCed on other guix home patches and threads outside of my
interests/workload capabilities.

If you think that confusion is severe, we can split the team into Guix
Home Core and Guix Home Services, however I don't think it makes a lot
of sence.
