Not AFAIK.  I agree it would have made sense to be in the loop; it’s
also a missed opportunity to create ties between public research and the
administration.

I think there are features that set Guix apart and that can be useful in
this setting: provenance tracking (‘guix system describe’),
authenticated channels, downgrade detection, grafts, and packages built
from source with very few exceptions.

Yet, I’m very happy there’s a strategy to move workstations to a free
system and that a declarative distro has been chosen (NixOS is a great
distro!).
