I think the differentiation between sending code and sending a URL is 
necessary. Saying that Guix sends your code or your source files to SWH 
leads people to think that Guix *will* transmit those files from your 
local machine over the Internet to SWH machines when you run "guix lint 
YOUR_PRIVATE_PACKAGE". And that's not the case, is it?
