It’s great to share your views of what you think should be done from a
security standpoint.  There’s little more we contributors can say other
than: yes, we agree, we’re working in this direction, and it’s going to
be a long journey.

What could help though is if people like you come and join us on that
journey.  I very much encourage you to play with Guix System and in
particular with the “childhurd” service that has recently landed and
should be of interest to you.

For now I’m closing the bug because as Ricardo wrote, it’s not a bug
report per se.

Thank you,
Ludo’.
