By development files I assume you mean header files? I don't see how those can
pose a security problem. Can you elaborate?

I think that we provide security on a best effort basis. A high profile target
like a bank or credit card payment service will likely have their own security
team and will use guixsd as a basis for their deployment. We can not do the
work that is the responsibility of an in house sysops team.
