Hello!

GNU 0.401 (aka. GNU/Hurd) was just released [0], along with an ISO based
on Debian GNU/Hurd [1].

I think this new GNU release deserves a NixOS-based distro so I plan to
adapt the ISO image module in NixOS to GNU/Hurd.  Fortunately GNU/Hurd
can already be cross-built from Nixpkgs [2] so it should be easy to
adjust.

Once NixOS GNU/Hurd is stable, I plan to incrementally replace Nix (the
implementation, and then the language) by something based on Guile
Scheme, with full integration in Emacs (M-x rebuild-os, etc.) for free.

Contributions welcome!

Thanks,
Ludo’.
