I was going to commit this patch but now I don't know: should we wait for a reply from the maintainers about updating xaos release on gnu.org? Or maybe push this patch now, and change the origin URL later (if there will be a response)?

I wouldn't add this circularity, I think it was better to have xaos in a separate module. But actually I don't know if it's a real issue and what our policy on such things is. I hope more experienced guix/guile people will tell if we should avoid such circularities. -- Alex
