> "Mark was completely right - it's total BS". Well I did some work on running guixsd on arm, part of which involved trying to make the linux-libre package more extensible. Mark criticized it as not being very well thought out, and I found that it was not very extensible.
Coming from a background in functional programming I decided that it made sense to have a function -> package to create variants. But as it turns out Ludo already has created a great way of extending packages through records with (inherit). The function -> package thing doesn't work very well.
