Oh, we should really work towards unbundling things from =E2=80=98go-ipfs=
=E2=80=99.  Any
idea how difficult that would be?

=E2=80=9Cguix size syncthing=E2=80=9D, for instance, returns mostly tiny Go=
 packages,
which looks good to me, no?

Anyway, if you think there=E2=80=99s a problem, could you email details to
bug-guix@gnu.org so we keep track of it there?

Thanks!
