Wouldn’t using the AFS service be a bottleneck, in terms of availability and bandwidth? My impression is that it might be OK for small updates like those of GNUnet itself, but not for a full distro. For Guix, downloading binaries is an option that is only worthwhile if it’s faster than building locally. Ludo’.
