That doesn't directly answer the question. It _implies_ that there is no
moratorium. Could the you, or ideally the guix team as whole, answer the
question directly. And an additional question asked by David Thompson
on the #11154. Moving foward can we expect that LLM-assisted commits
will be accepted into Guix?

A curt yes or no answer would suffice. As you mentioned in another email
there is no need to religate the LLM issue. We just want to understand
where the Guix project currently stands. Although I appreciate the effort
that goes into writing a longer, nuanced answer, I also understand how
stressful doing so can be.

It would be best to not focus the discussion on a specific commit or
your actions. Putting the spotlight is not only stressful for those
being scrutinized, but also unnecessary and unhelpful. The focus should
be about where the project stands moving foward.

It is clear that you and everyone else in the Guix team acts with
good intentions. So I hope you aren't feeling like you are personally
responsible for anyone leaving. As Cayetano Santos mentioned on the
fediverse, this is not the only commit with LLM-assistance in Guix
master. There also f528be103a69. Additionally Nicolas Graves also left
the Guix project because they were under the impression that they couldn't
use LLMs to contribute to Guix[1]. So this is an issue where any decision
will lead to people leaving the project.

Cheers,
Javier
