I consider the OpenBSD community to be excellent, not only for their prioritising a tight kernel and high levels of security standards but because they refuse to release updates until documentation such as manpages are comprehensively written. This final point is something which the Guix community needs to improve - there is too much of a publish first - decribe later philosophy. As somebody still trying to fully master I get the feeling that their are things which will elude me until I get enough battle scars and my productivity will be hampered until I reach that sweet spot (or at least become more proficient/confident at just asking!) I should state that I consider the help-guix and devel-guix to be highly informative, friendly and professional. There should be greater expectations of contributors to explain their improved functionalities in advance. Additionally, I hold your individual support to be exemplary. Additionally, while I understand that MIT is in many ways deficient compared to GPL licenses, if not pernicious and counterproductive I do empathise regarding why networking engineers may prefer having a licence which permits encapsulation more readily.
